Gustav Mahler's 5th Symphony starts with a four-note motif, resembling Beethoven's 5th. Reflecting the era's upheaval, the symphony features stark contrasts, from somber marches to triumphant brass chorales. Mahler's focus on polyphony weaves through the composition. He considered it a "completely new style," possibly influenced by his love for and marriage to Alma Schindler in 1902. The 'Adagietto,' seen as a declaration of love to Alma, gained fame, notably through Visconti's 'Death in Venice.' The junge orchester NRW celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.
Groß, größer, Mahler! Mit Chor, Solosängerinnen und einem Orchester, das sechs Hörner und Trompeten, eine Orgel und einen Haufen Schlagwerk verlangt, sprengt Mahlers zweite Sinfonie alles bisher Dagewesene. Und bis heute ist ihre Aufführung stets ein Erlebnis!Vor allem, wenn Mahler-Spezialist Paavo Järvi am Pult seines exzellenten Tonhalle-Orchesters Zürich steht und das Meer der Musikerinnnen und Musiker auf und die musizierendend Massen auf der Bühne sicher durch die emotionalen Extreme der Sinfonie leitet. Auf »größte Not« folgt glückselige Schwerelosigkeit: »Mit Flügeln, die ich mir errungen, werde ich entschweben! Sterben werd’ ich, um zu leben!«, singt der Chor und lässt das Licht der Hoffnung in strahlend warmen Farben scheinen. Nie wurde diese Empfindung ergreifender in Musik gesetzt.

In 1903, Gustav Mahler and Arnold Schönberg first met in Vienna, starting a collegial friendship. The program of the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin features these pioneers of modernism alongside Unsuk Chin's concert suite from her opera "Alice in Wonderland." Schönberg's groundbreaking Chamber Symphony No. 1 (1935 orchestral version) and Mahler's lighthearted Symphony No. 4, with its final song based on the Bavarian children's song "Der Himmel hängt voll Geigen," are performed. Chin's "Alice" suite, "Puzzles and Games," a surreal music theatre scene for voice and orchestra, which premiered successfully at the 2017 ACHT BRÜCKEN festival, is also featured.
