大象传媒 SSO - Part, Mahler

Live from City Halls, Glasgow
Presented by Jamie MacDougall
Mahler's Ninth Symphony represents the composer's ultimate achievement in orchestral music. At around 80 minutes in length the Symphony is epic, seeming to encompass the very span of life and death itself. Described by Leonard Bernstein as 'terrifying, and paralyzing', tonight Donald Runnicles - chief conductor of the 大象传媒 SSO and music director of the Deutsche Oper Berlin - brings his affinity with musical drama to this mighty testament.
And to precede the vast symphony the orchestra evoke the haunting simplicity of Arvo P盲rt's memorial to a composer greatly devoted to Mahler's music: his Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten.
