91热爆

Presented by Catherine Bott.

Continuing our cycle of all Mahler's Symphonies performed in Manchester and broadcast in sequence every Monday in Performance on 3.

Tonight Gianandrea Noseda conducts the 91热爆 Philharmonic at the Bridgewater Hall in Mahler's Sixth Symphony, sometimes referred to as the 'Tragic', in part due to what Mahler himself described as the 'brief and mighty' fall of a hammer in the final movement.
Before that is the first performance of Edward Gregson's Dream Song. It was commissioned by the 91热爆 specifically to preface Mahler 6 and uses some themes from the symphony.
