Music of Today: Benedict Mason
The Seventh is one of Mahler's most bewitching musical creations. At its heart are two movements entitled Nachtmusik ('Night Music') and a central scherzo whose haunting atmosphere and ghostly meanderings appear to inhabit another world. Add to that a pair of outer movements of deeply unsettling changeability and Dudamel's conducting alchemy, and you are guaranteed a night out to remember.
