Maestro 7: Mahler 2 featuring orchestra member Phoebe Russell
A transcendent musical experience that’s both heart wrenching and profoundly uplifting
The terror of death, the righteous judgement, the inevitable and liberating light of redemption: all are contained within Mahler’s monumental Second Symphony.
If his First Symphony was a portrait of a great hero, the Second depicts the hero’s funeral rites. Mahler himself said of the work, “it is the most important thing I have ever done”. From its searingly haunting opening underscored by the Dies irae to its rapturous conclusion, the piece takes you on a transformative journey from Earth up to Heaven.
In typical Mahler fashion, it calls for huge forces including choir and vocal soloists. Umberto Clerici continues his multi-season exploration of all of Mahler’s symphonies with this work of existential questioning and grief.
