成人快手

With Louise Fryer

Another chance to hear the opening Prom of the 2010 season, given last Friday at the Royal Albert Hall, London. Mahler's spectacular 'Symphony of a Thousand' launches the 2010 成人快手 Proms. "Try to imagine the whole universe beginning to ring and resound. There are no longer human voices, but planets and suns revolving" - so Mahler described his Eighth Symphony. It's a celebratory start to two months of music making at the world's greatest music festival and a tribute to the Proms founder and conductor - Sir Henry Wood - who gave the work its UK premiere 80 years ago.
Presented by Petroc Trelawny.
