The new in the old - two colossi in a new (sound) outfit
Gustav Mahler, who represented his very own concept of »historical performance practice«, in which a return to authentic instruments on the one hand and unhesitatingly massive interventions in other people's scores - always for their own good, as he was convinced - coexisted peacefully on the other, is now himself the subject of historical observation. And not only in this concert by the Bolzano-based Mahler Academy Orchestra under the direction of Philipp von Steinaecker. Modern, historically informed performance practice has long since arrived with Wagner, Mahler and Scriabin. However, live demonstrations of these works are not (yet) very common. A work as well-known - at least in part - as Mahler's Fifth will certainly surprise the ears alongside Rachmaninoff's no less popular Piano Concerto No. 3. Incidentally, Leif Ove Andsnes will play the virtuoso piece that the composer himself performed with the New York Philharmonic under Mahler's direction in Carnegie Hall in 1910, on a historic Blüthner grand piano from around 1910.
