Tonight's Prom features music from the last year of Mozart's life, with the "yearning for spring" of his final piano concerto, and the overture to La Clemenza di
Tito. Meanwhile, as we look forward to a new millennium, Beethoven triumphantly affirms an optimistic vision of the unity of mankind in his great last symphony.
