Yannick continues the Orchestra’s exploration of Mahler with one of the composer’s most enduring classics. Shaking the heavens, Mahler’s “Resurrection” Symphony is a vast, spectacular work requiring a large orchestra as well as organ, chorus, two soloists, and multiple offstage musicians. In its sublime ending, majestic and awe-inspiring, a heavenly choir sings and in that moment, Mahler wrote, “a feeling of overwhelming love fills us.”

A sublime cast of soloists summons the heavens in these performances of Mahler’s “Resurrection” Symphony! Soprano Ying Fang has “a voice that can stop time, pure and rich and open and consummately expressive” (Financial Times). And Joyce DiDonato—who won rave reviews for her appearances in the Orchestra’s 2024 performances of Mahler’s Third Symphony—has a voice that NPR calls “truly one of nature’s great wonders: luminous, silken, flexible, full of colors and expressive shadings, always supported by the breath so that even the finest threads of tone shine.”

The ecstatic praise given to Gustav Mahler’s “Resurrection” Symphony might seem hyperbolic to those unfamiliar, but the impact this colossal symphony has on listeners is real. “I think there is no one who can resist it,” Mahler once said. “One is battered to the ground and then raised on angel’s wings to the highest heights.” Tonight, experience the life-changing symphony in the same concert hall where Mahler conducted its US premiere. Led by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, The Philadelphia Orchestra welcomes world-renowned singers Ying Fang and Joyce DiDonato alongside the Philadelphia Symphonic Choir.
