Mahler Symphony No. 9 - by Richard Dyer, narrated by Eleanor McGourty




BSO 2016/17 Season - Concert Previews show

Summary: Listen to the concert preview. For the penultimate concerts of the BSO's 2015-2016 season, Andris Nelsons leads Mahler's Ninth Symphony, the work with which he made his debut with the orchestra in 2011, at Carnegie Hall. The composer's last completed work, the Ninth is a stunningly moving piece that has been interpreted as a meditation on death. On the boundary between the Romantic and the modern eras, it is doubtless one of the most beautiful symphonies in the literature.
