BBC Proms 99

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Another chance to hear the concert first broadcast on 25 August. The Proms Ascent of Man theme was vividly played out in Beethoven's joyous celebration of human rights and freedom, and Strauss's bold portrait of a hero's life. By way of contrast, Mahler's songs explored a more personal aspect of the indomitable human spirit.
