Carnegie Hall presents Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra
$63-$174
- Lester Lynch, baritone
- Simon Rattle, conductor
Alexander von Zemlinsky — Symphony Gesänge ("Symphonic Songs"), Op. 20
Gustav Mahler — Symphony No. 6 in A minor "Tragic"
Sir Simon Rattle conducts the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in Mahler's Sixth Symphony, which he calls "an extraordinary journey … in a strange way, Mahler's most classical symphony, even though it is so profound and tragic and, in many ways, apocalyptic." In works by Hindemith and Zemlinsky, the program also reveals the Weimar Republic's electrifying sense of cross-cultural artistic possibility, as ragtime music and poetry of the Harlem Renaissance become integral components of 1920s works by leading German composers.
