Much honored and much recorded conductor Semyon Bychkov, who has been obsessed with Mahler since his early years, shares his insights into the multi-faceted world of Mahler’s Seventh Symphony. Sometimes called “The Song of the Night” — because two of the five movements are titled Nachtmusik — the work is known for Mahler’s use of unusual scoring, including guitar, mandolin, tenor horn, even an early example of Bartók’s “snap pizzicato.” The symphonic journey concludes with a roaring rollercoaster ride of a finale.
