»... the most personal ... thing I have done so far«
Gustav Mahler's »Lied von der Erde«, written in the threshold years 1908 and 1909, so critical in music history, but not premiered until the fall of 1911, six months after the composer's death, by his friend Bruno Walter in Munich, is one of the most enchanting creations of late Romanticism and at the same time one of the most radiant beacons of modernism in those turbulent times. The Vienna Symphony Orchestra will open its season at the Vienna Konzerthaus in early October with this very special work. Robin Ticciati, who holds central positions in international musical life as chief conductor of the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin and music director of the Glyndebourne Festival Opera, will be at the conductor's podium. Soloists are the celebrated American tenor Michael Spyres and Scottish mezzo-soprano Karen Cargill, who launched her career with the prestigious Kathleen Ferrier Award.
