| Performance Notes | One of the worlds great orchestras, the Berliner Philharmoniker, returns to the Proms under Chief Conductor Kirill Petrenko with Mahlers richly ambiguous Symphony No. 7.
Eeriness, eroticism, delirium and darkness run through this mercurial work. At its centre are two night music movements the first black and heavy, the second lyrical and bright with serenades but theres also a musical phantasmagoria of a Scherzo as well as bucolic visions, love songs and a finale that blazes with light and hope.
The symphony must be like the world, Mahler once declared: it must embrace everything. And with his Seventh he does. |
