Then comes Mahler’s delicate yet powerful "Ruckert Lieder" featuring mezzo-soprano Barbara Dever, whose voice has delighted audiences around the world. The concert closes with Tchaikovsky’s elegant yet electrifying "Symphony No. 4," filled with dramatic elements that reflect upon a tumultuous era in the composer’s life.
