Happy Birthday, Gustav
What is the meaning of life? What is the meaning of death? Composer Gustav Mahler, born 150 years ago today, asked the big questions in his work. We'll hear highlights from two recent and extraordinary Mahler concerts. Gustavo Dudamel leads the LA Philharmonic in the final two movements of Mahler's Symphony No. 1, and Franz Welser-Most leads the Cleveland Orchestra in the final two movements of Mahler's Symphony No. 2, the Resurrection Symphony.
