Gergiev Conducts Mahler: Munich Philharmonic Orchestra at Carnegie Hall
About the Event
Allow yourself to be transported by the radiant magic of Mahler's Fourth Symphony, and the ethereal world of Debussy's Prélude à l'après‐midi d'un faune. Valeriy Gergiev conducts a program designed to melt the heart.
Soprano Genia Kühmeier sings the child's song that lifts Mahler's symphony heavenwards. Providing a strong, earthly contrast to these quasi‐mystical works is Schubert's 'Tragic' Symphony No. 4, infused with the Classicism of Mozart and Haydn throughout.
