From the BBC Proms 1998
Another chance to hear nine of the most memorable concerts of the 1998 BBC Proms season.
9: Prom 35, given on 14 August, featured Harrison Birtwistle 's The
Triumph of Time. Like some enormous procession or tableau, the work, inspired by Diirer, teems with musical events. All of human life also passes by in Beethoven's monumental ninth symphony - its choral finale rejoicing in universal freedom is still a political challenge to today's world.
