It is his first major work, and yet it is a mature musical statement. Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 contains everything that would characterise the composer’s later style: emotional outbursts, sudden yawning chasms, folkloric melodies, the sounds of nature, grotesque alienations. Conductor Tugan Sokhiev places this work alongside Lili Boulanger’s impressionistic, shimmering D’un matin de printemps and a newly-composed viola concerto by South Korean composer Donghoon Shin – also an admirer of Mahler. The solo part of the world premiere will be played by Amihai Grosz, first principal viola of the Berliner Philharmoniker.

Join us for the launch of a new series of short programmes with the Berliner Philharmoniker! We invite you to three Friday concerts this season under the title of “Ausklang” (finale). Without much ado, without a break, focussing on a single great work of orchestral music. Afterwards, the event continues in the foyer with a get-together over a free drink will. In the first instalment of the series, we present Ferruccio Busoni’s piano concerto, which unleashes pianistic fireworks and escalates into something monolithic when a male chorus is added to the performance forces for the finale. Sakari Oramo conducts, with Kirill Gerstein at the piano.
