Mahler thought the symphony should ‘be like the world’.
But what sort of world? That’s the question asked by the Second Symphony of Thomas Larcher: a dark and dazzling reinvention of the Western classical tradition from an unmistakably 21st-century perspective. It’ll make a striking complement to the Cold War angst of Shostakovich’s brooding First Violin Concerto – starring Julian Rachlin, a violinist who brings a new perspective to everything he plays. And then Klaus Mäkelä dives deep into Mahler’s final symphonic testament, a voyage to the limits of human emotion that never gets any less heartfelt or strange.
