MAHLER’S

RESURRECTION

Iwona Sobotka, soprano

Magdalena Wor, mezzo-soprano

Piotr Gajewski, conductor

 

The late-Washington composer Andreas Makris

reflects on his Greek origins in the Aegean Festival

Overture, which blends classic form and folklore

elements. The rarely performed A Sorrowful

Tale by Polish composer Mieczyslaw Karlowicz

(1876-1909) is a somber symphonic tone

poem offset by recollections of happier times.

Finally, one of Mahler’s most popular symphonies,

Symphony No. 2, presents the composer’s

meditations on afterlife and resurrection.
