A modernist Mahler 9 from Salonen and the Philharmonia

David Allen, 18th November

There are, speaking in broad generalisations, two main ways that Mahler’s Ninth Symphony is performed. One sees it as the composer’s farewell to life, an elegy that celebrates, fears, stands tall, and refuses to go quietly into the good night.
