Gustav Mahler once said that the symphony should be like the world 鈥� 鈥榠t should embrace everything鈥�. In his huge Seventh Symphony, he sweeps from an overcast Alpine lake through love songs, nightmares and moonlit marches to a roof-raising finish hung with jangling cowbells and laced with pitch-black humour. In short, Mahler doesn鈥檛 get more Mahler-ish than this.
Not that Sir Simon Rattle needs telling. He鈥檚 been conducting Mahler since he was a teenager, and this wild, fantastic fairy-tale of a symphony is particularly close to his heart. 鈥楾here鈥檚 only one Mahler 鈥� he takes in everything鈥�, he says, and tonight he dives headfirst into a world of soaring emotion and untrammelled sonic imagination.
