Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Brighton Festival Chorus

An afternoon that belongs to the exuberant partnership of the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, the Brighton Festival Chorus and the spirit of music-making everywhere. 

Pietari Inkinen conducts the Prague Symphony Orchestra in Mahler's monumental Third Symphony. 

A work scheduled to last nearly two hours could be excused for starting with a long slow build up, but Havergal Brian’s massive Gothic Symphony (the longest symphony ever composed) bursts onto the scene with a brisk and bustling march-like flourish, contrasted briefly with a delicate violin solo that reminds us that this is very much an English composition.
