BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra: Mahler's Tenth Symphony
Perth Concert Hall
Mill Street, Perth, PH1 5HZ
Date
£6.00 - £38.50
Willem Jeths Mors Aeterna
Mahler ed. Deryck Cooke Symphony No 10
Antony Hermus, conductor
It was the artistic equivalent of raising the Titanic. When Gustav Mahler died, he left a vast final symphony tantalisingly incomplete.
Five decades later, musicologist Deryck Cooke did the impossible and brought it to life, uncovering a lost masterpiece filled with puzzles and allusions – music in which cries of love and cries of pain resolve in music of shattering honesty and heartbreaking power.
This is art that explores the great questions of life, and guest conductor Antony Hermus guides us to the heart of Mahler’s final musical testament.
He prefaces it with something unfamiliar, but wonderfully appropriate – a haunted, restless meditation on loss, Mahler and mortality by the remarkable Dutch composer Willem Jeths.
