Prom 33: BBC PhilharmonicTime: 7.00pm - c9.10pm Venue Tickets £6-£27.50 
Broadcasts
Broadcast on BBC FOUR Britten's Sinfonia da Requiem was commissioned for the 2,600th anniversary of the Japanese Imperial dynasty, though the composer turned it into a Requiem for his recently deceased parents. Britten revered Mahler, whose painfully expressive Tenth Symphony was sketched at the height of the composer's obsession with death and at the time of his wife's affair with the architect Walter Gropius. Cooke's completion received its world premiere at the Proms, newly rejuvenating Mahler's farewell to life, and has since become established as a worthy successor to Mahler's completed symphonies.
