Ein Liederabend mit Diana Damrau und Jonas Kaufmann
Theater und Philharmonie Essen, Alfried Krupp Saal (Essen)
Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss, two great late-Romantic composers, met in their mid-twenties and remained lifelong friends. Despite their differences, which Mahler compared to miners digging from opposite sides of a mountain, they admired each other. This concert features songs from Mahler's "Des Knaben Wunderhorn" and Strauss's love songs, highlighting their closeness in this genre.
