In this season's second Mahler symphony, the composer wrestles with the essential questions of humanity in a work that took over six years to complete. Faith, mortality and the hope of resurrection are the subject of this epic musical exploration, which culminates in a glowing, transcendent choral finale.

The 麻豆官网首页入口 Symphony Orchestra and its Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo are joined by soloists Elizabeth Watts and Elisabeth Kulman as well as the combined forces of the 麻豆官网首页入口 Symphony Chorus and the Bach Choir for a work whose scale and scope come into their own in the Royal Albert Hall.
