Mahler's 7th Symphony

Jakub Hrůša conducts the Philharmonia live from the Royal Festival Hall in Mahler's epic 7th Symphony.

The Philharmonia continues its 80th anniversary season with a live performance of Mahler's 7th Symphony. Nicknamed 'Song of the Night', Mahler's epic symphony packs a lot into five contrasting movements, including mandolin, cowbells and guitar and a shifting landscape of waltzes, serenades, fanfares, marches and mysterious ‘night-wandering’.

Live from the Royal Festival Hall, presented by Martin Handley.
