NSO: Mahler

At the helm, the ‘passionate and ever-energetic’ Anja Bihlmaier who gave audiences ‘a night to remember’ (Bachtrack) with Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony last season.

Raging against the dying of the light, Mahler’s colossal last work is a mercurial struggle between his lust for life and fear of encroaching death. The result is heart-breaking and filled with exultant tongue-in-cheek humour, the blackest of moods, and the slow, serene leave-taking of its hushed ending.
