“keenly sensitive playing”—New York Observer
Mahler refused to call Das Lied von der Erde his Ninth Symphony out of fear that—like the ninth symphonies of Beethoven and Bruckner before him—it would be his last. Using German translations of Tang Dynasty poetry, Mahler combines words and music to capture the ephemeral nature of life’s pleasures. Opening the concert is a luminous Adagio, the only movement of Mahler’s Tenth Symphony that he lived to finish.
We regret to announce that the pre-concert lecture by Michael Beckerman, scheduled for Saturday, May 16 at 7 PM in Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage at Carnegie Hall has been cancelled.
