Mahler: Symphony No.10, compl. Deryck Cooke
麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra
Thomas Dausgaard, conductor
The 麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Chief Conductor, Thomas Dausgaard, offer two contrasting answers to the problem of performing unfinished symphonies. Although Schubert started work on his Eighth Symphony nearly six years before his death, he never completed it and the two existing movements of this lyrical, proto-Romantic work are mostly performed without a scherzo or finale. Mahler's final symphony grapples with darkness and doubt in music of rare anguish and intensity. It is presented tonight in the performing version by Deryck Cooke, which allows us to hear the work complete, in all its knotty, generous invention.
