I've tried, I've really tried, to connect with the music of Mr. Mahler as closely as I've bonded with Mr. Dvorak and Mr. Brahms and Mr. Tchaikovsky ... but I'm not there. Must confess I enjoy the Adagieto but that's about it for me when it comes to the 5th. Why do I keep tuning out from this man's music?
Mendelssohn's Ejijah, with the Amadeus Choir, at the Weston on the night when the lights went out all over town was great. Bloodthirsty and dramatic and even had some black humour. It felt very operatic - I kept imagining stagings as it went along. And Philip Addis ( who replaced Gary Relyea, not sure what happened there ) was superb as Elijah.
