A luminous night of Mahler with Daniel Harding and the New York Philharmonic

Amanda Keil, 3rd December

The story behind Mahler's Tenth Symphony, the composer's last work, suggests that the piece would be as vehement as Shostakovich or as sorrowful as late Brahms. Mahler died before he finished it, and midway through composing, he was heartbroken to learn of his wife’s infidelities.
