Summary

Kazuki Yamada leads the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, soprano Eleanor Lyons, and contralto Jess Dandy in Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony at Symphony Hall.

Why it's fantastic

Mahler intended this massive work to represent the cycle of life, death, and what follows, ending in a transcendent choral finale. With Kazuki Yamada guiding a huge orchestra and chorus, it is a rare chance to sit inside a wall of sound that is both overwhelming and profoundly human.
