SUMMARY:Boston Philharmonic Orchestra: Mahler Symphony No. 9
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: Boston Philharmonic Orchestra: Mahler Symphony No. 9=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.artsboston.org/event/detail/49137=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2010-02-25=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2010-02-25=0D=0A=0D=0AMahler's Symphony No. 9 is for many the pinnacle of his achievement and his last will and testament. In it one hears Mahler's final thoughts about mortality, about life in all the complexity of its struggle, about the harrowing fear of death, and the peace that settles in as one contemplates death not as an end but as a kind of melting into the infinite.=0D=0A==0D=0A=It is the cornerstone work for the Boston Philharmonic, which was formed immediately after, and partially in response to, Zander's first performance of the work in 1978. Maestro Zander has conducted the work often, with the Boston Philharmonic and many other orchestras, constantly reconsidering and deepening his now-famous interpretation. His recording of the symphony with London's Philharmonia orchestra on Telarc was nominated for a Grammy and received rave reviews around the world as one of the greatest interpretations of the work ever committed to recording.=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:7:30 PM
