The concert presents two challenging and colorful works from the 20th and 21st centuries. Both display the possibilities of a modern orchestra in the most brilliant way, but are otherwise a study in contrast.
Detlev Glanert’s Theatrum bestiarum from 2005 is a dark, surreal commentary on violence and inhumanity. Glanert is strongly influenced by Mahler, but the Mahler symphony heard on this program—though full of funeral marches and dark colors—moves toward comedy and affirmation. The Adagietto, which Mahler composed for his wife, is one of the most serene and soulful things he ever wrote.
