I'm curious what, in your professional opinion, is gonna be the most exciting concert for you this season.

Well, I, I really like that you picked Tchaikovsky 6 because I think the, the cornerstone of the program that I picked is, in some ways, the exact opposite of Tchaikovsky 6.

Tchaikovsky 6 is a piece written by a great composer at possibly the worst moment of his life as he sees the end of his life approaching.

And by contrast, the program that I'm picking is anchored by Mahler's Fifth Symphony, which is a great composer at the height of his power, and at, writing at the best time of his life.

Mahler has just gotten married.

He's the director of the Vienna State Opera.

His daughter is about to be born, and he composes this Fifth Symphony, which in some ways is perhaps a true culmination of Mahler as a composer.

How am I going to feel after the last movement?
