The LSO’s departing principal conductor didn’t need to make a speech – his intense rendition of Mahler’s valedictory 9th Symphony said it allAugust 28, 2023 12:02 pm
Last night the Proms bade farewell to Sir Simon Rattle’s tenure as principal conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra . Following, blighted by the pandemic and Brexit upheavals, with the dream of a new concert hall scuppered, the greatest of today’s British conductors is leaving to become principal conductor of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in Munich, one of the best in the world. And after Gustav Mahler’sAs curtain-raiser, the evening reasserted the BBC Singers’ treasurable presence.
Mahler has always been Rattle’s heartland, showcasing his ability to create faithful and personal interpretations on an epic scale. Nothing could do so better than the ninth symphony. It’s a valedictory work at the best of times. A ninth symphony had been the last for Beethoven, Schubert, Dvorák and Bruckner, and Mahler’s own, when it arrived, was perhaps the most personal music that he ever wrote.
