Sir Simon Rattle at the Proms
The conductor takes to the Royal Albert Hall stage for his final UK performance as music director of the London Symphony Orchestra. Together, this renowned and dynamic partnership poignantly mark the end of an era with Mahler's epic, all-encompassing Symphony - his Ninth. Known as the 'farewell symphony', it is shrouded in loss, complete with a dazzling spectrum of joy and despair, and ending in tranquillity and stillness. Katie Derham presents
