The concert begins with Demon by the British-American composer Freya Waley-Cohen (born 1989) – a co-commissioned work by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra premiered in 2023 by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. She found inspiration in old folk tales from the British Isles, chilling stories where a demon can manifest anywhere - here as both menacing and playful orchestral music.

Menacing indeed. Mahler's heartbreaking Kindertotenlieder – Songs on the Death of Children – has tragic points of connection with Mahler's own life, and the composition would also come to seem like a premonition: a few years later, Mahler's eldest daughter Maria died. The poems by Friedrich Rückert that Mahler chose deal with the parents' grieving process and the slow reconciliation with a painful reality. The world-renowned Nina Stemme is the soloist in this poignant music.

Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra's chief conductor Ryan Bancroft leads the orchestra in this program, which concludes with Carl Nielsen. Nielsen's Fourth Symphony is subtitled "Det uudslukkelige" (The Inextinguishable). It's dramatic music written in the midst of the First World War, famous in part for its duel between two timpanists.

English

Konserten inleds med Demon av den brittisk-amerikanska tonsättaren Freya Waley-Cohen (född 1989) – Kungliga Filharmonikernas sambeställningsverk som uruppfördes 2023 av City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Inspirationen hittade hon i gamla folksagor på Brittiska öarna, skräckfyllda historier där en demon kan uppenbara sig var som helst – här som både hotfull och lekfull orkestermusik.  

Hot, ja. Mahlers hjärtskärande Kindertotenlieder – Sånger över döda barn – har tragiska berörelsepunkter med Mahlers eget liv, och komponerandet skulle dessutom komma att framstå som ett förebud: några år efteråt dog Mahlers äldsta dotter Maria. De dikter av Friedrich Rückerts som Mahler valde handlar om föräldrarnas sorgearbete och om den långsamma försoningen med en smärtsam verklighet. Den världen över efterfrågade Nina Stemme är solist i den drabbande musiken.

Kungliga Filharmonikernas chefdirigent Ryan Bancroft leder orkestern i detta program som avslutas med Carl Nielsen. Nielsens fjärde symfoni har undertiteln ”Det uudslukkelige” (Det outsläckliga). Det är dramatisk musik som skrevs mitt under första världskriget, och berömd bland annat för sin duell mellan två pukspelare.
