The UBS Thanksgiving Concert
Listen (hour 1)
Listen (hour 2)
Listen live from your local public radio station
Program:
Haydn: Symphony No. 104
Mahler: Symphony No. 1
Description:
It is the most common, everyday thing imaginable to say “Hello” to someone, and then later, “Good-bye”. Most of us do it with words or a handshake, and it happens billions of times each day. Composers do this as well in their music, and their genius is to turn this everyday occurrence into something remarkable. This program is a set of bookends: the thrilling “Hello” is Gustav Mahler’s First Symphony, the product of a 24-year-old just coming on the scene, and the “Good-bye” is the final symphony of Franz Joseph Haydn. James Levine and the Boston Symphony Orchestra perform the UBS Thanksgiving Concert.
