Details

Brahms's youthfully bumptious and celebratory Academic Festival Overture opens this concert. It closes with Mahler's Fourth Symphony, the shortest, smallest and arguably most popular of his symphonic works. Its finale - the soprano setting of the Wunderhorn song Das himmlische Leben - reflects a child's vision of heaven and was originally meant to round off the last movement of Mahler's Third Symphony. Sponsored in memory of the late Raymond Gooch.
