Stricken by the death of his oldest daughter at the age of four and reeling from a diagnosis of a serious heart condition, Mahler retreated to a cabin in the mountains to write what would become his final works, among them the shattering Ninth Symphony. From its tenderly beautiful, hushed opening of harp, horns, and strings through the fevered Rondo to its gossamer finish, the Ninth is literally and figuratively a cry from a wounded heart—and a profound experience for the listener.

Gewandhausorchester Leipzig - A8

A superstitious composer, Mahler greatly feared the musical “curse of the ninth,” which claimed the lives of other great symphonists like Beethoven, Schubert and Bruckner. His own ninth, a work of epic melodies and proportions, was indeed his final symphonic offering, a four-movement work that many hear as Mahler’s farewell to life, a glorious work that sets the soul aflame. Be there when Music Director Robert Spano and the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra explore this tour-de-force, which begins with an irregular rhythm that Bernstein suggested was Mahler’s failing symphonic heartbeat.
