Meister & Müller

Date & Time
Fri, Jun 27, 2025, 20:00
»No original feeling … nothing but technical skill, calculation and inner deceit, a sickly, ill-tasting Supermusic«, an outraged critic wrote of the premiere of Mahler’s Fourth in Munich in 1901. Today we speak of a masterpiece. One can love or hate Mahler’s symphonies: some suffer vicariously with them, understanding their loneliness and loving their melancholy. Others find them outré, self-indulgent, hysterical. In the Fourth, it’s all not so bad. »We revel in heavenly pleasures«, it says at the end.

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.
