Mahler’s ‘Tragic’ Sixth
Mainstream βραδιά classical
Kensington Gore, South Kensington, London SW7 2AP, UK
Sakari Oramo and the BBC Symphony Orchestra present a programme of monumental soundscapes, exploring the boundaries of life and death. The performance marks the centenary of Hungarian composer György Kurtág with his orchestral elegy Stele, a work that captures the commotion of a battlefield through kaleidoscopic textures. The evening concludes with Mahler’s premonitory Symphony No. 6, known as the 'Tragic', which broods on human frailty and resilience through a haunting landscape of marches, dances, and orchestral power.
