Jerry Milhollan: Applause for symphony taking on Mahler’s 2nd
I would like to commend the Modesto Symphony for what looks like an outstanding season, especially taking on the massive Mahler 2nd Symphony. This music, for me, stands alongside the greatest compositions for orchestra and voice, including Beethoven’s 9th and Brahms’ Requiem. The MSO and chorus are clearly up to the task. All who know this music will want to be there, and those who don’t will be rewarded with some of the richest sounds in music (if by nothing else than the last 20 minutes).
Jerry Milhollan, Modesto
