• Noon Summer Sonic

  "What one makes music from is still the whole - that is the feeling, thinking, breathing, suffering, human being," wrote Mahler to Bruno Walter. If we didn't know that Mahler faced imminent death, we would still know that the music could not have been written except by one who is facing the ultimate test

  Conductor Benjamin Zander talks about performing and listening to Mahler's Symphony No 9 in D, with the Philharmonia Orchestra (Telarc 80527)
