Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde
Date & Time
Mon, Sep 9, 2024, 20:00For Gustav Mahler, escaping the world often meant living only for love and art. Sometimes, however, his otherworldly sounds also gently speak of death. The traditional Staatskapelle Berlin under Susanna Mälkki now dedicates itself to them. In the "Song of the Earth", joy in life and farewell to life find a colorful expression. Mälkki prefaces Mahler's moving late work with Kaija Saariaho's trumpet concerto "Hush", her poignant farewell to the world. Verneri Pohjola now interprets it.A summary from original text in German | Read the original
