Spoken

Aus Mahlers großem symphonischen Schaffen sticht die vielschichtige »Siebte« mit ihrem Wechselspiel zwischen den emotionalen Extremen, zwischen Leid und Glück, Nacht und Licht hervor. Im Finalsatz dann kulminiert die 7. Symphonie in einem ungebremsten Freudentaumel – in keiner der anderen Mahler-Symphonien findet sich etwas Vergleichbares. Manche Mahler-Anhänger wie etwa Bruno Walter gingen dem jubelnden Spektakel aus dem Weg. Arnold Schönberg hingegen beteuerte 1909, zu einer Zeit als er längst die Wende zur Atonalität vollzogen hatte, die »Siebte« habe ihn vollständig zu Mahler bekehrt und ihn das Problematische mancher früheren Symphonie vergessen lassen. Mahler selbst schätze seine »Siebte« wegen ihres »vorwiegend heiteren Charakters« sehr und bezeichnete sie schlicht als sein »bestes Werk«. Trotzdem erscheint sie eher selten auf den Spielplänen – DANIELE GATTI, designierter Chefdirigent der Sächsischen Staatskapelle Dresden, tritt an, um das zu ändern!

Deutsch

Among Gustav Mahler’s sizeable symphonic oeuvre, the multi-layered Seventh stands out with its interplay between emotional extremes, between sorrow and bliss, darkness and light.
In its final movement, the Symphony No 7 culminates in an unbridled rapture of joy. Nothing quite compares in any of Mahler’s other symphonies. Some Mahler aficionados, such as Bruno Walter, steered clear of the spectacle of cheer and jubilation. Arnold Schönberg, on the other hand, affirmed in 1909 – at a time when he had long since committed to atonality – that the No 7 had entirely converted him to Mahler and made him forget the problematic nature of many an earlier symphony. Mahler himself thought highly of this symphony because of its “predominantly cheerful character”, describing it simply as his “best work”. Despite this, it is rarely performed – a fact that Daniele Gatti, principal conductor designate of the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden intends to change.
