Mahler

Friday, November 2, 2012

"A symphony must be like the world," said Mahler, "it must contain everything." No work better exemplifies this than his epic Third Symphony, scored for massive orchestra including off-stage post horn and snare drums, women's and children's choirs and various bells. Our guide to Mahler's universal piece is Semyon Bychkov, acclaimed for his ability to grasp both the largest architectural sweep and the smallest detail.

Check out Semyon Bychkov conducting Mahler 3 in 2008!

Please note: There will be no intermission during this program.
