1. Philharmonisches Konzert by Mahler, Webern, A., Various, So. 24 Sept. 2023, Ab (2023/2023), Dirigat Kent Nagano, Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg, Deutschland

Gustav Mahler composed his first work at the age of six. Twenty-two years of life - and a stellar career as a conductor - later, he completed his first symphony. He faced the difficult legacy of this genre full of idealism, even exuberance, and created nothing less than a musical celebration of life. He christened his work "Titan" - a human giant, but basically: the entire creation with its exultant heights as well as agonizing depths of existence. With this work, General Music Director Kent Nagano opens the Philharmonic series of the 2023/24 season - a drumbeat preceded by an early work by Anton Webern: idyllic and joyful in its basic mood, it brings to life the summer wind from the verse lines of a novel by Bruno Wille. Webern's romantic music opens up to vocal music from the Middle Ages and Renaissance through interpolations by the choir LauschWerk. A musical journey through time.
