Leave-taking and death in a monument of the Romantic repertoire

For the musicians of the Budapest Festival Orchestra the symphonies of Gustav Mahler are a piece of cake. They’ve proven that several times in Bruges, to rapturous applause. This time maestro Iván Fischer leads his virtuoso orchestra through Mahler's Ninth, his last completed symphony. Mahler’s Ninth is not only a tormented and poignant farewell to life, it is also an ode to its beauty. Gravity and sophistication alternate with humour and a genuine connection with nature.
