Mahlerthon: Part Two
The UCLA Philharmonia kicks off the second half of the celebration with Mahler’s Sixth—an emotional roller coaster of triumph and tragedy—followed by University of Southern California students performing the composer’s only surviving piece of instrumental chamber music and a song cycle for the hopeless romantics.
Capping off the Mahlerthon with a massive tour de force, the Colburn Orchestra and Los Angeles Master Chorale team up on the Second Symphony. “The effect is so great that one cannot describe it,” Mahler reflected. “If I were to say what I think of this great work, it would sound too arrogant in a letter. … The whole thing sounds as though it came to us from some other world. I think there is no one who can resist it. One is battered to the ground and then raised on angel’s wings to the highest heights.”
