Mahler’s Fifth: Symphony No. 5 Mahler,G (+1 More)

A lone trumpet sounds in the darkness and Gustav Mahler begins his great struggle from tragedy to triumph – by way of midnight storms, joyous horn-calls, and the most tender love letter ever written without words: the rapturous Adagietto.

‘The symphony should be like the world’, said Mahler; and with Edward Gardner conducting, 70 minutes of music becomes the emotional experience of a lifetime. It’s a powerful counterpart to a brand new work, written for the voices of Emma Bell and Elsa Dreisig by the LPO’s Composer-in-Residence Brett Dean. Mahler would surely have responded to a title that translates as ‘Hoping against Hope’.
