Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.
This season's Bohemian theme continues with the first Proms performance of Janacek's visionary cantata about a kingdom of the spirit governed by an eternal love, written on the eve of the First World War. It is framed by Mozart's short Italian-style opera-overture symphony and Mahler's darkly nocturnal symphony. Presented by Christopher Cook.
