Programme

Concert information

It was the artistic equivalent of the raising of the Titanic. When musicologist Deryck Cooke completed Mahler鈥檚 unfinished final symphony, he uncovered a lost masterpiece filled with puzzles and allusions; a work where cries of love and cries of pain finally resolve in music of shattering honesty and heart-breaking beauty. This is music that explores the great questions of life; and as Donald Runnicles guides us to the heart of Mahler鈥檚 final musical testament, there鈥檚 no more powerful way to open our new season. The songful violin concerto by 鈥淩ussian Mendelssohn鈥 Alexander Glazunov forms the brightest of contrasts, and with the glorious tone of James Ehnes, it鈥檒l sparkle like new.
