Full Concert: Mahler & Strauss
In this September 15, 2024 performance livestreamed from the Fisher Center at Bard, TŌN and conductor Leon Botstein perform works by three master composers of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. The concert begins with Gustav Mahler’s mystical Fourth Symphony. Soprano Jana McIntyre, a Metropolitan Opera National Council grand finalist, performs the final movement’s beautiful “Das himmlische Leben” (“The Heavenly Life”). She also joins the orchestra for Richard Strauss’ lush and serene Four Last Songs. The program also includes Arnold Schoenberg’s rhapsodic Five Pieces for Orchestra.
