Mahler Symphony No. 7 
Not to be missed is our third concert, comprising Mahler’s stunning Seventh Symphony, written at the height of his success as conductor and composer, and exemplifying his famous quotation: ‘A symphony must be like the world; it must contain everything.’ The seventh is rightly reckoned rather enigmatic, but contains, after a funeral march, the exquisite ‘night music’ movements and a demented waltz of a scherzo, an exultant climax.
