Long song of Solitude: Concert Various

Mahler knew that his end was near when he wrote Das Lied von der Erde, and he was determined to savour every minute that remained to him. Half symphony, half song-cycle, Das Lied is a song of the sweetness and wonder of life, distilled into some of the most exquisite music Mahler ever wrote. Harrison Birtwistle, meanwhile, shows no signs of slowing down, and when his Deep Time was premiered in 2017, critics hailed this ‘immensely powerful’ work as an instant classic. Time heals, as well as transforms: Edward Gardner brings the season to a close with a vision of eternal truth and limitless beauty.
