Venue

Gustav Mahler's "Adagietto" is a symphonic evergreen. But you've never heard this melodramatic movement like this before! The Bolzano-based Mahler Academy Orchestra, conducted by Philipp von Steinaecker, performs Mahler's 5th Symphony on period instruments, as it may have sounded at its Cologne premiere in 1904. Prior to this, Rachmaninoff's 3rd Piano Concerto will be performed with Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes, also in period sound.

A Mahler Finale with the RSPO Orchestra Academy

Wed, Jun 4, 2025, 19:00

Konserthuset Stockholm, The Grünewald Hall (Stockholm)

Since 2016, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra has hosted an ”Orchestra Academy”. The international RSPO Orchestra Academy is a one-year, advanced academic programme for young musicians. Under the guidance of the section leaders from the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and the Piteå School of Music, the musicians receive intensive training individually, in chamber music, and orchestral playing.They also showcase their talents through a series of public chamber music concerts – such as this one featuring this year’s academy musicians. This finale is more than just a traditional chamber concert – we hear Mahler’s Fourth Symphony in a version for a smaller ensemble, led by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s Chief Conductor, Ryan Bancroft!Symphony No. 4 is both simple and sophisticated; it is like dewdrops on a flower, suddenly shimmering with thousands of colours as the sunlight touches them – as Mahler himself described the melodies of the first movement. The symphony has been called “heavenly blue.” The first three movements lead to a final movement with a soprano solo: Wir geniessen die himmlischen Freuden – We revel in the heavenly joys. It is open, bright, lyrical, yet also playful, with themes and sonorities from the earlier movements reappearing.The soloist is the Swedish soprano Karin Mobacke, who in recent years has been gaining increasing attention on the country’s opera and concert stages. She made her debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra in 2023 in a concert performance of Johann Gottlieb Naumann’s national opera Gustaf Wasa.

Shostakovich and Prokofiev often faced Soviet art critics, but quickly appeased them. Prokofiev with his heroic Fifth Symphony, and Shostakovich with his highly virtuosic 2nd Piano Concerto, brilliantly performed by Russian pianist Anna Vinnitskaya. Vinnitskaya, who won the ECHO Klassik award in 2014 for her recording of the concerto, now performs it with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. Prokofiev's 5th Symphony, composed in 1944, also displays combative traits, reflecting the Soviet army's impending victory.

Gustav Mahler gehört unbestritten zur musikalischen DNA des Mahler Chamber Orchestra. Dessen Dritte ist eine der längsten Sinfonien der Musikgeschichte. Eine ganze Welt wollte er damit erschaffen, am Ende hat er eine sinfonische Kosmologie auf dem Notenpapier konzipiert, mit einem Blick von unserer in die jenseitige Welt.In diesem Sinfonien-Kosmos wiegen sich die Blumen im Wind und es ertönt der charakteristische Ruf des Kuckucks. Später betritt der Mensch diese Welt, im mysteriösen Solo der Alt-Stimme, das hier der französischen Mezzosopranistin Marianne Crebassa anvertraut ist. Aber auch die eindrucksvollen Bergmassive, von denen Mahler beim Komponieren am Attersee umgeben war, klingen aus dieser Partitur. Und von deren Gipfeln ist es nur ein kleiner Schritt zum Gesang der drei Engel im Himmel, begleitet vom Klang von sechs Glocken, die zur riesigen Orchesterbesetzung gehören.
