Mahler this Saturday

The symphonies of Gustav Mahler require a conductor who is daring enough to explore a wide range of emotion. The Boston Philharmonic's Benjamin Zander is acknowledged as one of the world's leading conductors of Mahler. High Fidelity named his recording of Mahler's Symphony No. 6 as the best classical crossover recording of 2002, his recording of Mahler's Symphony No. 3 was awarded the 2004 Critic's Choice by the German Record Critic's Award Association and his recording of Mahler's 9th Symphony was nominated for a Grammy Award.

On Sunday, February 11 at 2pm, WGBH 89.7 in Boston is proud to present Zander and the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra in a riveting interpretation of Mahler's Symphony No. 5 in C-sharp. This WGBH exclusive broadcast, recorded live in November 2006, will stream worldwide at wgbh.org/classical also includes Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique and Robert Schumann's Cello Concerto in A minor, Op. 129, with soloist Alexander Baillie.
