BBC Proms: Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra

The Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra are led by their dynamic conductor Gustavo Dudamel in a perforamnce of Mahler's second symphony, 'Resurrection'. A work for vast forces including offstage brass, two solo singers, and a large choir as well as the orchestra. Mahler takes listeners on a spectacular journey through the entire gamut of emotions and questions whether there is life after death. The symphony begins with a huge funeral march and across the work makes a progression from darkness to light - death to everlasting life
