Launching our 150th-anniversary celebrations of
Mahler’s birth, his ‘Symphony of a Thousand’ begins
a weekend-long flourish of three towering works
combining voices and orchestra. Setting a hymn to
the divine creative spark alongside an exaltation of the
feminine spirit from Goethe’s Faust, Mahler created
a work of unprecedented scale and impact. The BBC
SO gave its UK premiere 80 years ago under Proms
founder-conductor Henry Wood. Tonight’s massed
choirs lavish on it the force of over 400 adult and
children’s voices.
