Hello, I'm Joseph Alessi, Principal Trombone of the New York Philharmonic.

The first time I performed this wonderful solo for tenor horn

was in 1986, soon after I joined the New York Philharmonic.

Maestro Leonard Bernstein was conducting,

and our collaboration with him resulted in the creation of

a Deutsche Grammophon recording that was one of

For that recording I played the solo on the tenor tuba,

which is larger than the instrument you are about to hear.

Growing up in the town of Kaliste near an army barrack,

Mahler listened often to the garrison guard

with the large array of brass band instruments

beyond the relatively small number we hear

In this opening haunting solo of Symphony No. 7

In fact, this is the only time that he composed

Mahler selected the tenor horn in his Seventh Symphony

Underlying this plaintive horn melody is a

Even the greatest composers have suffered writer's block.

In a letter to his wife, Alma, in the summer of 1905,

Mahler wrote, “I had intended to complete the Seventh Symphony

having completed the two nocturne movements.

For two weeks, I tortured myself to the point of melancholy,

as you must remember, until I ran off to the Dolomites.

Finally, I gave up and went back to the lake

convinced that the summer would be wasted.

I stepped into the boat to be rowed home.

I hit upon the theme, or rather, the rhythm and

the style of the introduction to the first movement,

the first, third, and fifth movements were completely finished.”

For the performance you are about to hear

You may ask, Why the change in instruments

from the time I played it with Maestro Bernstein?

he clearly lists tenor horn but also indicates, “or tenor tuba.”

Tenor horn has several different meanings,

So it is a bit of a mystery exactly what Mahler wanted.

With the instrument that you will hear, I believe

but also more projecting than the tenor tuba.

As this performance makes abundantly clear,

I perform with the finest musicians on the planet.

How I miss making music with each and every one of them.

These broadcasts remind me how happy I have been

as a member of the great New York Philharmonic.
