The New York Philharmonic - Americas preeminent symphony orchestra - gave A Concert for New York to mark the tenth anniversary of the events of 9/11. What work could be better suited to the occasion than Mahlers Resurrection Symphony with its evocation of every aspect of life and its profound sense of hope, as the Philharmonics Music Director Alan Gilbert put it? This concert became an unforgettable event, a consistently impressive performance with gripping playing, magnificent soloists and an excellent chorus (The New York Times).
