Edward Gardner launches the LPO’s new season with a journey to the end of the world with Mahler's 'Resurrection' Symphony.
Mahler’s ‘Resurrection’ Symphony starts with a funeral march, and finishes in a world reborn: a voyage from darkest grief to a breathtaking musical panorama of the Day of Judgment itself. If you only know it from recordings, you haven’t really heard experienced it fully – so join us, as soloists Sally Matthews and Beth Taylor plus the full London Philharmonic Choir commit, heart and soul, to some of the most overwhelming music that even Mahler ever composed. ‘The evening ultimately belonged to Gardner, his orchestra,and those superb choirs’, said The Guardian describing Gardner’s recent performance of Berlioz’s Damnation of Faust with the LPO.
