Dudamel conducts Mahler's Symphony No. 5
Clip: Season 54 Episode 6 | 2m 12sVideo has Closed Captions
Dudamel conducts a section of Mahler's Symphony No. 5 with the New York Philharmonic.
This excerpt (from the second movement) features organized chaos as different instrument groups clash. Cackling woodwinds, anguished sighs in the strings, and somber horn rhythms are layered to evoke despair, longing, and angst all at the same time. This music paves the way for the modernist developments that would soon follow in 20th century orchestra writing.
