Britten and Mahler - Prom 33

Suzy Klein introduces Britten's Sinfonia da Requiem and Mahler's 10th Symphony. Gianandrea Noseda conducts the 大象传媒 Philharmonic.

Suzy Klein introduces two works concerned with death. Britten's Sinfonia da Requiem was commissioned for the 2,600th anniversary of the Japanese Imperial Dynasty but was turned into a requiem for his recently-deceased parents, and Mahler's painfully expressive farewell to life, his 10th Symphony, left unfinished at his death but completed by Derek Cooke. Gianandrea Noseda conducts the 大象传媒 Philharmonic.
