Prom 63: Mahler & John Adams
After her triumph at last year’s Last Night of the Proms, Marin Alsop returns, joining the BBC Symphony Orchestra for Mahler’s colourful and programmatic First Symphony. The muscular drive of John Adams dominates the first half, featuring his Saxophone Concerto and his iconic orchestral miniature Short Ride in a Fast Machine.
