DESCRIPTION:Event Name: Mahler Triumphant!\nEvent Url: http://www.artsbosto
 n.org/event/detail/441408025/Mahler_Triumphant\nEvent Date Begin: 2012-04-
 26\nEvent Date End: 2012-04-29\n\nThe Boston Philharmonic revisits one of 
 its signature composers and ends the 2011-2012 season with a riveting and 
 awe-inspiring fourth and final concert\, performing Mahler's massive and t
 echnically-demanding Seventh Symphony. Maestro Benjamin Zander\, a Mahler 
 devotee with several recordings of the great Austrian symphonist to his cr
 edit\, leads the orchestra in a dazzling showcase of Mahler's often overlo
 oked work\, a piece the composer hailed as his &ldquo\;greatest&rdquo\; mu
 sical achievement after its completion in 1905.\nBeginning with a small rh
 ythmic pattern inspired by a summer rowing trip\, the Seventh grows steadi
 ly into a gigantic display of orchestral power\, using a wide variety of i
 nstruments seldom heard in a concert hall\, such as the guitar\, mandolin\
 , tam-tam\, glockenspiel\, gong and hand-bells. Though never following a s
 pecific story or program\, the symphony's five movements&mdash\;featuring 
 titles like &ldquo\;Night Music&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;Shadowlike&rdquo\;&mda
 sh\;are cinematic in scope and designed to immerse the audience in a world
  of images\, including scenes of nature\, chivalric love and military dram
 a.\nTrue to his belief that musical repetition was something of a &ldquo\;
 lie\,&rdquo\; Mahler infused his Seventh with several catchy melodies and 
 slightly distorted dance forms that never quite take hold\, but which buil
 d up to a bold and brassy finale that threatens to literally raise the roo
 f. Scholars have referred to the last movement as nothing short of &ldquo\
 ;life-affirming.&rdquo\;\n\nStart time: Thu\, 7:30pm @ Sanders Theatre\nSu
 n\, 3:00pm
