DESCRIPTION:Event Name: Mahler Triumphant! \nEvent Url: http://www.artsbost

 4-28\nEvent Date End: 2012-04-28\n\nThe Boston Philharmonic revisits one o
 f its signature composers and ends the 2011-2012 season with a riveting an
 d awe-inspiring fourth and final concert\, performing Mahler's massive and
  technically-demanding Seventh Symphony. Maestro Benjamin Zander\, a Mahle
 r devotee with several recordings of the great Austrian symphonist to his 
 credit\, leads the orchestra in a dazzling showcase of Mahler's often over
 looked work\, a piece the composer hailed as his &ldquo\;greatest&rdquo\; 
 musical achievement after its completion in 1905.\n\n\n \nBeginning with a
  small rhythmic pattern inspired by a summer rowing trip\, the Seventh gro
 ws steadily into a gigantic display of orchestral power\, using a wide var
 iety of instruments seldom heard in a concert hall\, such as the guitar\, 
 mandolin\, tam-tam\, glockenspiel\, gong and hand-bells. Though never foll
 owing a specific story or program\, the symphony's five movements&mdash\;f
 eaturing titles like &ldquo\;Night Music&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;Shadowlike&rd
 quo\;&mdash\;are cinematic in scope and designed to immerse the audience i
 n a world of images\, including scenes of nature\, chivalric love and mili
 tary drama.\n\n\n \nTrue to his belief that musical repetition was somethi
 ng of a &ldquo\;lie\,&rdquo\; Mahler infused his Seventh with several catc
 hy melodies and slightly distorted dance forms that never quite take hold\
 , but which build up to a bold and brassy finale that threatens to literal
 ly raise the roof. Scholars have referred to the last movement as nothing 
 short of &ldquo\;life-affirming.&rdquo\;\n\nStart time: Sat\, April 28 @ 8
 :00 pm\, Jordan Hall
