Not only do I love the symphony, I love the BBC titles, Bliss Colour Symphony is also an inspired work!

[Adorado31]

What a masterpiece!

[Foljiny]

what's the bbc song at the very beginning called?

[schnozz87]

@Foljiny It's the movement "Red" from Authur Bliss' "A Colour Symphony"

1:14 is probably my favorite part of the entire symphony... Genious.

@coaster1000 I love the ending best E-wig E-wig classic @ Mahler

They were all good but no one sang better than Mardi Byers.

Thank you for preserving the diacritic marks in the conductor's name. ;-)

The theme from Schindler's List and "Tania and End Credits" off of the Enemy at the Gates Soundtrack can be heard in this piece if you listen closely...my thought is that Williams was inspired by this piece when he wrote the theme from Schindler's List and Horner was inspired by Williams...just a guess though.

@Sicilianforlife thats true, may be a jew  song?

[Sicilianforlife]

@MIGUEL2005LIMA That it could be! lol

[latinoheat300]

@Sicilianforlife Enemy at the gates! That's the one, I was trying to place it...

Twyla Robinson is by far the most gorgeous operatic soprano in the world. She looks stunning.

Such a nice and quick upload. I didn't find the audio that came with the upload after the concert to be of very high quality. If you plan on uploading the other concerts as they are broadcast, I can't wait. :)
