Mahler’s First Symphony begins with the creation of the world itself. From breathless opening to heaven-storming finish, it’s one of those pieces that you simply have to hear live – and a stunning way to follow the diamond-toothed brilliance of Prokofiev’s Third Piano Concerto, which completes our Prokofiev anniversary cycle with Nikolai Lugansky. John Storgårds conducts, and shares a delightful film-score discovery – Finland’s answer to The Great Escape?
