An evening of Mahler brings bitter-sweetness to heightened grounds at the Roy Thomson Hall

Patrick P.L. Lam, 23rd January

“What makes Mahler’s music like opium,” I once got asked. If you enjoy listening to lush melodies and pompous brass calls in fine Wagnerian traditions, or get stimulated sonically by a large orchestra, you have got a foot in the door.
