MARTINU | Memorial to Lidice
STILL | Dismal Swamp
MAHLER | Symphony No. 6 in A-minor
Where there is resistance, there is hope. Of all of Mahler's symphonic protagonists, it is the hero of his Sixth who fights the most bravely, even when all hope seems lost.
MAHLER | Todtenfeier
PRITCHARD | Seven Halts on the Somme, Concerto for Trumpet and Strings
KORNGOLD | Symphony in F-sharp, Op. 40
Korngold, whom Mahler referred to as a “musical genius,” refused to write concert music while Hitler was in power. After the war, he composed his only symphony, a celebration of peace and hope for the future, dedicated to FDR.
