Program Notes: Mahler’s Symphony No. 4
Here’s the moment you fall in love with Mahler. His lyrical Symphony No. 4 has started many a love affair with Mahler’s work, which can feel daunting. This very accessible masterpiece looks at the world through the lens of a child, who in the finale, “tells us what it all means.’’ If ever art imitates life, Elgar’s very personal Cello Concerto is it. His last major work is a haunting, gut-wrenching reflection of his life. These program notes include music excerpts.
