Petrenko’s Mahler I by Various, Od (2020/2020), Dirigent Vasily Petrenko, Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool, United Kingdom

Vasily Petrenko starts his year-long voyage through Gustav Mahler’s symphonies at the beginning, with a first symphony that opens with the dawn of time itself and ends by practically blowing the roof off! Meanwhile, Mahler’s disciple Anton Webern evokes the sweetest of dreams in the blissful Im Sommerwind. In between, Vasily Petrenko welcomes back Benjamin Appl – unforgettable in Britten’s War Requiem last season – to explore the tender, deeply romantic songs of Franz Schubert. Vasily Petrenko will provide an introduction from stage before this concert, to help you get even more from the experience.
