BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert, Proms 2012 Repeats, Prom 22 - Mozart, Knussen, Mahler

Prom featuring the BBC Philharmonic under Gianandrea Noseda in Mozart, Knussen and Mahler.

A Prom featuring the BBC Philharmonic performing under Gianandrea Noseda. Mozart: Overture: Don Giovanni. Knussen: Symphony No 2 (Gillian Keith: soprano). Mahler: Symphony No 7.

With Louise Fryer
The BBC Philharmonic and their Conductor Laureate Gianandrea Noseda open with Mozart's famous Don Giovanni Overture and celebrate Oliver Knussen's 60th Birthday with his Second symphony. Gillian Keith is the soloist giving stratospheric voice to this setting of poems by Georg Trakl and Sylvia Plath.
Mahler described his Seventh Symphony as 'light-hearted' and it is said to be the work that convinced Schoenberg of Mahler's greatness. Sometimes seen as the Cinderella of Mahler's symphonies, its rich orchestration and imaginative use of unusual instruments, like guitar and mandolin, make it a compelling listen.
