![]() | Thu, Feb 6, 2025 at 12:10 | Eva conducts Mahler | Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 9 is a monumental work in every sense of the word. Taking about 90 minutes in performance, it requires a very large symphony orchestra, making full use of the entire orchestral spectrum. This final symphony Mahler completed in his lifetime is a work of grand and profound emotions as well as large-scale formal innovations, a truly majestic farewell to the world. In the words of Herbert von Karajan, “it is music coming from another world, it is coming from eternity”. Anna Þorvaldsdóttir's work "ax" is an orchestral piece derived from her composition "METAXIS," which premiered in the atrium of Harpa at the Reykjavik Arts Festival in spring 2024. "METAXIS" was composed for a "scattered orchestra and space," where the spacious foyer of Harpa connected separate groups of instrumentalists each playing in their respective corners. Now, Anna has distilled this work into the orchestral piece "ax," to be enjoyed in Eldborg in traditional concert form. | Thorvaldsdottir: Ax Mahler: Symphony no. 9 in D major | Iceland Symphony Orchestra Eva Ollikainen: Conductor | Reykjavík | Iceland | View on map | Buy tickets |

The programme opens with Mahler's lesser-known Blumine: a standalone work that was the original Andante movement from the composers first symphony, but was removed by Mahler in 1896.

![]() | Wed, Feb 12, 2025 at 11:40 | Lied Concert with Sarah Connolly | The highly acclaimed English mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly has held the title of Dame Sarah since 2017. Her opera career has been long and successful, spanning from the Baroque to contemporary repertoire. Among the many celebrated productions she has been involved in are Mozart's Titus at the English National Opera, Purcell's Dido and Aeneas at La Scala in Milan, and Richard Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Alongside her opera career worldwide, art song has always been a central part of her artistry. Here we hear her in songs that truly showcase her versatility, by composers including Robert Schumann, Gustav Mahler, Barber, Eisler, and Britten. Magnus Svensson is the artistic director of the lied concert series. Alongside concert activities in the Nordic countries and the rest of Europe, he has also performed in Russia and the USA. Since 2012, he has also worked at the Royal Swedish Academy of Music on the re-publishing of older Swedish music.

![]() | Thu, Feb 13, 2025 at 11:40 Sat, Feb 15, 2025 at 18:00 | Weilerstein & Nilsson | Pavel Haas (1899–1944) and Gustav Mahler (1860–1911) emerged from similar roots in the Bohemia that is now Czechia: Haas from Brno and Mahler from Kaliste, 120 kilometers away. Both were Jewish, but Haas hailed from a Moravian-Jewish family and Mahler from an Austrian-Jewish one. Pavel Haas was deported during World War II to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, later to be murdered in Auschwitz. His only symphony remained unfinished. It wasn't until half a century later that the remaining material was orchestrated, and the work premiered in 1998. Haas' creative output is characterized by Bohemian and Jewish influences, with elements of folk music and jazz. The symphony is a remarkable, staggering piece. If darkness pervades Haas' symphony, Mahler's fourth symphony is brighter, lyrical, and playful. It's been dubbed "sky blue" at times, and the fourth movement features a soprano solo: "Wir geniessen die himmlischen Freuden," "We enjoy the heavenly pleasures." The soloist is our latest soprano star in the international music scene, Christina Nilsson. Conducting this captivating program with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is the American conductor Joshua Weilerstein, noted for his championing of rare works.

![]() | Thu, Feb 13, 2025 at 11:40 | On Tour in Bristol | A rich and evocative programme on tour in Bristol, with Chief Conductor Sir Antonio Pappano. Walton’s dream-like and sometimes uneasy Cello Concerto inhabits a meditative musical universe. It starts with a ticking clock and ends by drifting into a reverie. In between is a restless, energetic sequence of thoughts before the calm of the finale. In Mahler’s First Symphony, the earth wakens to sounds of nature and nostalgic folk songs in the first movement. The middle movement is charm itself, while the finale is a funeral march to the tune of ‘Frère Jacques’. Not for nothing was it nicknamed ‘Titan’. | Walton: Cello Concerto, Op.68 Mahler: Symphony no. 1 in D major "Titan" | Sir Antonio Pappano: Conductor Rebecca Gilliver: Cello London Symphony Orchestra | Bristol | United Kingdom | View on map | Buy tickets |

![]() | Thu, Feb 20, 2025 at 12:00 | Orchestre de chambre de Paris | Si la cantate BWV 48 exprime la souffrance de l’homme conscient de ses fautes, Le Chant de la Terre la douleur de l’être devant la vanité de sa condition, Bach et Mahler laissent aussi entrevoir une possibilité d’apaisement. Mahler aimait particulièrement la cantate BWV 48 (1723), qu’il aurait peut-être même dirigée. A-t-il été sensible à sa trajectoire, de la lamentation à l’espoir ? De tels sentiments sont présents dans les poèmes chinois du VIIIe siècle mis en musique dans Le Chant de la Terre (1909), arrangé pour orchestre de chambre par Glen Cortese. Célébration de la beauté de la nature et de sa fragilité, joie exubérante de l’homme ivre, solitude douloureuse, angoisse à l’approche de la mort : les émotions alternent jusqu’au dernier mouvement, qui scelle la réconciliation de l’homme et du monde.

![]() | Mon, Feb 24, 2025 at 12:00 | Leipzig Gewandhausorchester / Andris Nelsons | On sale from Tuesday, October 1 Dvořák and Mahler for an unforgettable concert Leipzig Gewandhausorchester is, today, the oldest orchestra in the world. It was founded in 1743 in the city of Leipzig, one of the European cradles of the history of music. Among its directors we find the names of Felix Mendelssohn, Arthur Nikisch, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Bruno Walter or Riccardo Chailly. Andris Nelsons has led since being appointed in 2018; he is recognised for his singular way of conducting and his huge personality. The Leipzig Gewandhausorchester treasures a history which forms part of the universal patrimony of music: during Beethoven’s lifetime, it performed all his nine symphonies. It also premiered Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3 “Scottish” and Schubert’s Symphony No. 9 “The Great”. Wagner, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Grieg and Strauss conducted their works with this legendary orchestra. Milestone after milestone, generation after generation.Today, more than one hundred musicians continue its tradition for a legacy full of life. For this occasion, the orchestra invites German soprano Christiane Karg - born in Baviera and musically educated at the Mozarteum and in Verona - to be part of the programme. Since her debut at the Salzburg Festival, Karg has performed at the Frankfurt Opera, Semperoper of Dresden and in La Scala of Milan. | Dvořák: Mahler: | Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra Andris Nelsons: Conductor Christiane Karg: Soprano | Seville | Spain | View on map | |

![]() | Thu, Feb 27, 2025 at 12:15 | Fin de siècle | ‘Without him, a radio choir in Germany dedicated to new music like the SWR Vokalensemble would have been inconceivable,’ wrote the SWR Vokalensemble on the occasion of Clytus Gottwald’s death in 2023. Gottwald beautifully arranged late romantic music by Mahler, Wolf, Strauss, and Schreker for choir. His arrangement of Mahler’s famous Adagietto from the Fifth Symphony enjoys international acclaim. A concert that transports you to the heart of late Romanticism. In just three years, Hugo Wolf composed around 200 Lieder that capture the essence of the fin de siècle zeitgeist. Mahler’s music too, masterfully echoes the dramatic clashes in art and society that defined his era. Such as Um Mitternacht (At Midnight): four introspective, wandering minor verses followed by a radiant major key as the text proclaims with newfound trust: ‘Hab ich die Macht in Deine Hand gegeben: Herr über Tod und Leben’ (‘I commended my strength into your hands: Lord over death and life’). | Wolf: Italienisches Liederbuch: Und willst du deinen Liebsten sterben sehen (arr.

Haydn blows the roof off with one of his most explosive symphonies, and the teenage Mahler gets seriously emotional in a rarely-heard early gem. Add another artist who strikes sparks – violinist Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider – and Tchaikovsky’s hugely popular Violin Concerto will never have sounded more alive. Three very different composers, but in Wellber’s hands, they’re all part of the same unforgettable story. | Mahler: Piano Quartet in A minor (arr.
