“The refined beauty of ambiguity.”
— Note by former New York Philharmonic Music Director Leonard Bernstein on his copy of the score for Mahler’s Symphony No. 9.
Current Music Director Alan Gilbert will lead the Mahler Nine in a FREE Memorial Day concert at The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine on Monday, May 28.
A tip: If you don’t arrive early enough to get a seat inside the Cathedral, bring a blanket so you can catch this refined beauty as the music is piped out onto the Pulpit Green (weather permitting).

Interesting film of Rattle and the BPO doing Don Juan
Such an interesting/strange film recording. So many uber close up shots. Quite eclectic overall. Although, I suppose you can say that about the piece as well. Perhaps that’s why it all works.
