One of the singular, titanic works of music comes to the stage at Glens Falls High School for an epic conclusion to an amazing season of music. Come hear why Mahler's grand, yet incredibly human, musical expression has been featured prominently in recent films.
About the work, in notes by John Mangum and the L.A. Philharmonic: "Since his death in 1911, Gustav Mahler has come to occupy a central place in the history of music and in the orchestral repertory. With advances in recording technology, his symphonies – many of them clocking in around 80 minutes, perfect for a single CD – have found a huge audience, one much larger than in the decades after his death, when a handful of dedicated acolytes championed his music in the concert halls of Europe and America. Mahler has also, just about a century later, emerged as a crucial bridge between the musical Romanticism of the 19th century and the modernism of the 20th, a composer who simultaneously summed up the achievements of his predecessors and pointed the way forward."
