“Journey into the Twilight Earth” reflects the introspective, existential quality of Mahler’s "Song of the Earth" combined with the mythic quality of Dvorak’s "The Golden Spinning Wheel." The charismatic Simon Rattle conducts the Czech Philharmonic with (his wife!) Magdalena Kozena (mezzo‐soprano) and O’Neill (tenor) for the first time. Enjoy strong soloists, an exceptional venue, and top-quality production that delivers an emotionally rewarding experience, as good as the day it was performed.
