Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 7

Allan Clayton, tenor
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic Orchestra
John Storgårds, conductor

Night-time darkness and blazing musical sunlight collide in Mahler’s Symphony No. 7 – a musical epic that packs the whole world into five contrasting movements. Vast orchestral forces – including mandolin, cowbells and guitar – conjure a shifting landscape of waltzes, serenades, fanfares, marches and mysterious ‘night-wandering’ – by turns romantic and humorous, sardonic and sincere. To open, John StorgÃ¥rds conducts the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic Orchestra and tenor Allan Clayton in the world premiere of award-winning composer Tom Coult’s Monologues for the Curious, inspired by the ghost stories of M. R. James.
