In case you are not the biggest fan of Mahler symphonies, here's some help ...
Just heard Mahler 6 played by HKBU symphonic orchestra and I can get the right on the above diagram lol. Speaking of Mahler's symphonies, I was not a fan of Mahler's symphonies or German Romanticism. After the Mahler 6 concert, I have found that Mahler is truly a master of orchestration. Indeed, no matter the quality of the players, if the players follow all the instruction in the score, there must have something interesting to hear. Haha

ReplyDeleteI have to say Mahler's music is a bit like the durian fruit (no offence) - either you love it or you stay away from it ;p
