Pittsburgh Plays Mahler's Fifth
Yesterday we heard part one of our special two-day broadcast of Mahler's Fifth Symphony, from a concert by the Pittsburgh Symphony. Today we'll hear the final two movements, beginning with the famous Adagietto. Conductor Manfred Honeck says it's not funeral music, as many people think. He says it's a love song written by Mahler to his future wife Alma. Honeck leads the Pittsburgh Symphony, from a concert last Sunday in Berlin.
