In a deeply personal programme, Sir Simon Rattle conducts the London Symphony Orchestra in Mahler's Second Symphony, 'Resurrection', and Sir Harrison Birtwistle's Donum Simoni MMXVIII.
Sir Simon Rattle makes an emotional appearance at the Proms at the helm of the London Symphony Orchestra.
In a deeply personal programme, Sir Simon and the orchestra perform Mahler鈥檚 mighty Second Symphony, 鈥楻esurrection鈥� 鈥� a musical odyssey on an epic scale 鈥� to a sellout crowd at the Royal Albert Hall.
The work has been indelibly linked with Sir Simon since he first rose to prominence as a student conductor when he was just a teenager.
A moving tribute to Sir Harrison Birtwistle, who died earlier this year, opens the concert. His rousing Donum Simoni MMXVIII was a musical gift composed specially for Sir Simon and the London Symphony Orchestra in 2018.
