The Symphony No. 7 by Gustav Mahler opens with a gorgeous solo for the unusual tenor horn. The Oregon Symphony has a fine horn section, but they called in Demondrae Thurman to get that particular sound. On today's show, Thurman steps in with the Oregon Symphony for the opening movement of Mahler's Symphony No. 7, conducted by Carlos Kalmar.
