In the world of soundscapes, there’s hardly anything more expansive, more explosive, more proliferating than a Mahler Symphony. Each one is a cosmos unto itself, drawing on every sound an orchestra can make and drawing out the expressive potential of every musician. There’s pain, joy, drama, humor, earthiness, transcendence, and always reconciliation and deliverance.
Mahler’s 5th Symphony (known to devotees as Mahler 5) is arguably the most potent manifestation of all that. So we’re blessed beyond blessed that The Budapest Festival Orchestra - one of the world’s greatest - conducted by Iván Fischer - a true hero of the baton - is coming through town with a fresh take on Mahler’s monument of music, and we’re invited for a Night Out!
It’s all thanks to Lincoln Center’s Great Performers series - devoted as they are to making sure our city is stuffed to the gills with the best performance art our species has to offer.
The evening starts with a more minor Mahler miracle - his song-cycle for voice and orchestra Kindertotenlieder. It’ll feature the great contralto Gerhild Romberger in her New York Debut.
Then we’ll press forth into Mahler 5. Get ready for that one.
Tickets typically average almost $70, but we’ve got the Groupmuse-exclusive stack for $25! But these won’t last, so grab yours and be there!
