Brahms and Mahler face hope and loss in two very different ways—Brahms with his ravishing and intimate horn trio (featuring the principal horn of the Berlin Philharmonic, Stefan Dohr) and Mahler with a grand and epic work, essentially a symphony for two singers and orchestra, heard here in an arrangement for chamber orchestra of virtuoso players and two of the world’s finest singers, all led by maestro Alan Gilbert.

Superstar conductor Alan Gilbert, principal conductor of Hamburg’s Elbephilharmonie and former music director of the New York Philharmonic, leads an all-star cast of musicians in an unmissable program of chamber and orchestral works, including a virtuosic showstopper, a lush symphony, and an iconic piano concerto.
