Description
Mahler’s monumental Fifth Symphony opens with an iconic trumpet solo leading a funeral march, but ends in lively, celebratory D major. It comprises a massive emotional journey, and along the way, we visit a Scherzo that highlights Austrian dances and horn solos, as well as the touching Adagietto for strings and harp — Mahler’s most famous composition and a musical love letter to his wife, Alma. The Second Symphony of prolific 20th-century American composer Alan Hovhaness, subtitled “Mysterious Mountain,” provides a sweeping and spiritual opening to the evening.
