Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 1 D major & Adagio

Vienna

Austria

The strings continuously play the note A very softly, in octaves. Delicate fifths from the woodwinds, trumpet fanfare in the distance – and then spring breaks out, stormy, exuberant and colorful. We've been waiting for it for a long time: the bright, weighty sound of an orchestra! Gustav Mahler's Symphony no. 1 in D major is a favorite of many orchestras, and especially the Vienna Philharmonic, with whom Leonard Benstein gave his legendary Mahler concerts. The Symphony no. 10 is Mahler's final symphony, and remains unfinished. On his death, only the adagio was extensively orchestrated. The recitative song of the violas gives way to sublime polyphony. Daniel Harding conducts, LIVE at the Vienna Konzerthaus.

Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 1 D major & Adagio: Concert Various

Daniel Harding is not only a conductor, but also a commercial pilot - a combination that is probably unique in the world. Both jobs require a high level of communication skills and team spirit. According to Harding, flying made him a better conductor: "I've learned to deal with difficulties in a more positive and productive way."

This time, the journey takes Harding with Gustav Mahler to the world designs he creates in his symphonies. The Briton remarks that he can by no means resist Mahler's pull: »People like to say to things that fascinate them and that they think are great: It's amazing how modern it is ... But Mahler's music is of course fascinating. Whenever you start to really get involved with something, you can't stop. The more you immerse yourself, the more you realize that there is always more to learn and discover.« Daniel Harding now invites you on this journey of discovery together with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra - welcome aboard the Great Hall!
