Mahler’s arresting Symphony No. 7 surely deserves more attention than it gets. Its recipe for success: scored for a large orchestra, with majestic climaxes and melodies that fluctuate between a host of contrasting, extreme emotions. Mahler’s urge to express his relationship with the world around him in one single symphony is palpable throughout. This Mahlerian blend of biography and philosophy also explains why his Seventh is his most spontaneous, but also his darkest work. Mahler specialist Eliahu Inbal is perfectly placed to conduct this masterpiece and give the audience a new perspective on Mahler’s struggle with life.
