GUSTAV MAHLER Rückert-Lieder
GUSTAV MAHLER Symphony No. 1, "Titan"
Our Classical Series finale celebrates Gustav Mahler, one of the greatest symphonic composers of all time, and the return of fan-favorite mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato! Music Director Matthias Pintscher and the Symphony team up with Joyce in Rückert-Lieder, an intimate, introspective collection of songs suffused with dark lyricism. Mahler’s First Symphony is one of his most popular and memorable, traversing the wide ground of a hymn to nature, an earthy dance, a funeral march (with the tune “Frère Jacques” played in a minor key), a Czech folk band and a gloriously triumphant final movement originally titled “From inferno to paradise.”
