Carnegie Hall Classics
In his first season as Music Director of the Pittsburgh Symphony last year, Manfred Honeck was lauded for his distinct interpretation of Mahler’s Symphony No. 1: “More than any other conductor … he captured the darker view of this work. His reading had edges” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette). This series also offers an otherworldly view of Holst’s The Planets with the Houston Symphony, accompanied by NASA’s latest high-definition projections of the solar system and fascinating commentary by leading planetary scientists.
