DESCRIPTION:Event Name: Mahler Triumphant!\nEvent Url: http://www.artsbosto
 n.org/event/detail/441558959/Mahler_Triumphant\nEvent Date Begin: 2012-04-
 29\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.\n\n \nBeginning with a sma
 ll rhythmic pattern inspired by a summer rowing trip\, the Seventh grows s
 teadily into a gigantic display of orchestral power\, using a wide variety
  of instruments seldom heard in a concert hall\, such as the guitar\, mand
 olin\, tam-tam\, glockenspiel\, gong and hand-bells. Though never followin
 g a specific story or program\, the symphony's five movements&mdash\;featu
 ring titles like &ldquo\;Night Music&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;Shadowlike&rdquo\
 ;&mdash\;are cinematic in scope and designed to immerse the audience in a 
 world of images\, including scenes of nature\, chivalric love and military
  drama.\n\n \nTrue to his belief that musical repetition was something of 
 a &ldquo\;lie\,&rdquo\; Mahler infused his Seventh with several catchy mel
 odies and slightly distorted dance forms that never quite take hold\, but 
 which build up to a bold and brassy finale that threatens to literally rai
 se the roof. Scholars have referred to the last movement as nothing short 
 of &ldquo\;life-affirming.&rdquo\;\n\nStart time: Sun\, Feb 29 @ 3:00 pm\,
