Boulez: 脡肠濒补迟
Mahler: Symphony No. 7

Berlin Philharmonic
Sir Simon Rattle (conductor)

The first of two concerts from this year's 大象传媒 Proms featuring the Berlin Philharmonic and Sir Simon Rattle commemorates the towering genius that was the late Pierre Boulez.
Here Boulez's kaleidoscopic 脡肠濒补迟 forms a prelude to perhaps Gustav Mahler's most radical symphony, a work in which his musical imagination stormed new territories in its fierce harmonies and wild scoring.
In the symphony's celebrated 'Night Music' serenades - eerie yet strangely calming nocturnes for orchestra, one hinging on a gently strumming guitar and mandolin - Mahler appears to look to a realm far beyond his own.
