Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 вер 2018
- BSO Music Director Andris Nelsons leads the BSO in Mahler's all-embracing. ninety-minute Symphony No. 2, Resurrection, featuring the Tanglewood Festival Chorus, along with Chinese soprano Ying Fang and Argentine-born mezzo-soprano Bernarda Fink. The third movement is a setting of "Urlicht," a poem from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, a source of texts for many of Mahler's songs, and the vast finale includes a setting for chorus and soprano of verses from Klopstock's poem "Resurrection."
Performed October 25-30, 2018 at Symphony Hall

Loved this! Going to hear this work tonight ❤
Can anyone tell me how this program note, posted on 9/5/17, for the Mahler 2nd, with wht is purported to be the BSO's performance dimly in the background, refers to a performance by the BSO (under Nelsons on October 25-26) that has yet to take place? I understand the various and sundry "miracles of technology" but I hugely doubt this can happen(at least in this universe). DUMBfounding!
It is precisely as you describe it. The "miracles of technology"
did it occur to Gustav that HVB was just being sarcastic? Or emphasising that he was out of touch now?
No. Both those would have been rational (even if mistaken) conclusions. But Mahler was looking for emotional confirmation, not critical analysis. Mahler would have had to recognize that von Bulow's response was a statement about him (von B.), not Mahler or his music.
