More Information:

Based on a selection of poems by Elizabeth Barrett Browning and others, Elgar’s dark sea songs fit perfectly with the powerful and deep singing of Stephanie Blythe. Then James Levine and the orchestra journey through the tumultuous universe of Mahler’s Fifth, a symphony so vast in its emotions that to hear it even once can be a transforming experience.
