| Performance Notes | With its vast performing forces and huge soundscapes, Mahlers Second Symphony deals with no less a subject than the meaning of life.
Wrestling with doubts and questions of human purpose, happiness and death, it offers extraordinary consolation in its final two movements, closing with a rapturous affirmation of faith: I shall soar upwards, I shall die in order to live.
Opening the concert is Sir Harrison Birtwistles rousing Donum Simoni MMXVIII for wind, brass and percussion a musical gift composed in 2018 especially for Sir Simon Rattle and the London Symphony Orchestra. |
