CSO Plays Mahler

This week we've been discussing some of the important Jewish composers of the 19th century as part of our year-long look at Jewish music and musicians. We talked about Meyerbeer and Offenbach, and then we listened to the short 3rd movement of Mahler's 10th Symphony. Today I received an email from a former band parent who shared a link to a full-length PBS broadcast of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performing Mahler's 7th Symphony. It was recorded live at Symphony Center downtown, with Maestro Pierre Boulez conducting. Unlike your typical YouTube video with questionable sound and fuzzy audio, this is the real deal. Check it out!
