New York Philharmonic 'A Concert for New York' - Mahler Symphony No. 2

ACCENTUS Music DVD and Blu-ray release November 2011: The New York Philharmonic - America's preeminent symphony orchestra - gave "A Concert for New York" to mark the tenth anniversary of the events of 9/11. What work could be better suited to the occasion than Mahler's "Resurrection" Symphony with its "evocation of every aspect of life" and "its profound sense of hope", as the Philharmonic's Music Director Alan Gilbert put it? This concert became an unforgettable event, a "consistently impressive" performance with "gripping playing", "magnificent" soloists and an "excellent" chorus (The New York Times). Featuring soprano Dorothea Röschmann, mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung and the New York Choral Artists, the free concert took place on September 10, 2011 in Avery Fisher Hall, New York.

I sat in line for 3 hours to get a ticket to this concert - but it was worth it! The emotional and spiritual rejuvenation which I got from it far outweighed my physical back pain (oh what I do for classical music). lol
