Unique Mahler

"In general, I have found that humour of this kind [...] is not often recognized even by the best." This was Gustav Mahler's bitter realization after the premiere of his Symphony No. 4, which he himself originally described as a "humoresque". Obviously, contemporary audiences had expected more serious music from the venerable court opera director. From today's perspective, the symphony has all the characteristics that make Mahler's music so unique: Profundity and wit, melancholy and the grotesque, the folkloristic and the touching. The path to paradise leads through darkness, but in the end the "sky is full of violins". Or is it? Andris Nelsons and the Gewandhaus Orchestra will masterfully fill this question, which Mahler has cast in music, with life. An overwhelming opportunity to immerse yourself in Mahler's opulent sound worlds.
