12. Symphoniekonzert by Neuwirth, Mahler, ma. 10 juli 2023, Fra (2023/2023), Dirigent Daniel Harding, Semperoper, Dresden, Germany

Olga Neuwirth describes her orchestral piece »Masaot/Clocks without Hands« as a »formed flow of memories«. As in a musical kaleidoscope, fragments from songs from very different traditions come together to form a polyphonic whole. It is no coincidence that this work arose from a composition commissioned to mark the 100th birthday of Gustav Mahler, whose musical imagination included folk songs and waltzes as well as fairground music and post horn signals. The "Lied von der Erde" also breaks musical boundaries and combines the two genres that were closest to the composer throughout his life: symphony and song cycle. A free concert introduction with Hagen Kunze takes place 45 minutes before the start in the opera cellar. Concert duration: approx. 105 minutes, including a 20-minute intermission
