Season 43 Episode 2: Omnibus at the Proms

Mahler's Symphony No 4 in G major Omnibus returns to the Royal Albert Hall for the first of six programmes from the 95th season of Henry Wood Promenade Concerts. Tonight, following her triumph as Susanna in The Marriage of Figaro at Glyndebourne, Joan Rodgers talks about a singer's view of Mahler and the crucial importance that song plays in his early symphonies. Yet in the Fourth Symphony, the soprano soloist remains silent for the first three movements! With the BBC Welsh Symphony Orchestra led by JAMES CLARK conducted by Tadaaki Otaka.
