The unifying themes of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s programme were of resignation and farewell, typified by the last completed orchestral works of Richard Strauss and Gustav Mahler.
Of all Mahler’s symphonies, it calls for an acidic and raucous range of sounds and the RPO had exactly these strident and dissonant qualities in their performance of the work.
The closing passages of final resignation were mesmerising: the RPO strings played as softly as possible and Gatti perfectly judged the ‘gaps’ between the dying strings making us listen to the silence; there was no closure, just strings melting into nothingness as if the notes were going on eternally.
