Prom 1 - The First Night of the Proms archive

A concert from the BBC Proms. Launching our 150th-anniversary celebrations of Mahler's birth, his 'Symphony of a Thousand' begins a weekend-long flourish of three towering works combining voices and orchestra. Setting a hymn to the divine creative spark alongside an exaltation of the feminine spirit from Goethe's Faust, Mahler created a work of unprecedented scale and impact. The BBC SO gave its UK premiere 80 years ago under Proms founder-conductor Henry Wood. Tonight's massed choirs lavish on it the force of over 400 adult and children's voices. Finish time: approx. 21:30
