Inside Mahler

My 2009 performance of Mahler 5 with the WCFSO will air this evening at 8pm EST on Iowa Public Radio [link is an mp3 stream]. We took a unique approach to presenting the piece, mixing multimedia with live music and offering insights from orchestra members into the experience of playing Mahler. The image above is one of several views of the event by WCFSO photographer Noah Henscheid. [You may notice me holding my iPhone in some of the other shots – I was using it to cue slides and video live onstage.]

In the event that you get to this post after the stream ends, a re-embed and download of the first movement is below; please feel free to grab the code from the player and share on your blog as well.
