Sir Simon Rattle makes an emotional appearance at the Proms at the helm of the London Symphony Orchestra. \n\nIn a deeply personal programme, Sir Simon and the orchestra perform Mahler’s mighty Second Symphony, ‘Resurrection’ – a musical odyssey on an epic scale – to a sellout crowd at the Royal Albert Hall.\n\nThe work has been indelibly linked with Sir Simon since he first rose to prominence as a student conductor when he was just a teenager. \n\nA moving tribute to Sir Harrison Birtwistle, who died earlier this year, opens the concert. His rousing Donum Simoni MMXVIII was a musical gift composed specially for Sir Simon and the London Symphony Orchestra in 2018.\n\nPetroc Trelawny presents.
