Mahler Cycle at Carnegie Hall - May 2009

QUOTE
Once thought of as musical curiosities, the symphonies of Gustav Mahler have become staples of the orchestral repertoire, and this season the Staatskapelle Berlin gives Carnegie Hall concertgoers a chance to experience the entire cycle. Hearing the works over 12 days in the order of their composition provides an unparalleled view into Mahler’s lifelong creative path, from the exuberant Romanticism of his First Symphony to the haunted music of his last. Two legendary maestros, Daniel Barenboim and Pierre Boulez, lead the Staatskapelle Berlin in a fascinating traversal through the work of this extraordinary composer, about whom Leonard Bernstein rightly said: “His time has come.”

I am really interested to make a trip to NY and attend this in May 2009.
