Sir Simon Rattle came out on stage to announce to the audience at the 64th Aldeburgh Festivalhis wife, mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kozená will ill. She still intended to sing, but should her voice give out an alternate was driving down from North England, over 250 miles away --just in case.
Kozená was able to finish Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde. While there was an evident struggle in her voice, but the performance was still amazing, creating a night the people of Birmingham will not soon forget.
