Záznam živého provedení 4. března 2021 jako součást koncertů přenášených živě online bez posluchačů kvůli omezením spojeným s pandemií.

Performed live on 4 March 2021 as part of live-streamed "quarantine concerts" without the audience due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Mahlerova Čtvrtá je odlehčenější než jeho předchozí symfonie. Orchestr však bude ještě skromnější, než si Mahler žádá, a to v důsledku dodržení potřebných rozestupů a všech aktuálních vládních opatření. Základním hudebním motivem je píseň Nebeský život ze sbírky německých lidových a starých písní Chlapcův kouzelný roh. Mahlerova Symfonie č. 4 G dur zazní pod taktovkou Tomáše Netopila a s Kateřinou Kněžíkovou v sólové roli. Sólistou Divertimenta concertante Nina Roty (jde o skladatele, který se proslavil především filmovou hudbou) bude Martin Raška, první kontrabasista Janáčkovy filharmonie Ostrava.

čeština

Nino Rota – Divertimento – Scale, fingering, inch exercise. It was originally intended to be a didactic tool for students of Petracchi’s double bass class at the Bari Conservatory. The pedagogue was also the first to interpret it. The audience, however, heard not only a technical exercise but a composition full of playfulness and calm, joy and focused thought.

Mahler completed his Fourth Symphony in 1900, the following autumn the work was premiered in Munich. Cold? Failure? Much worse. Unintelligible work without content, the critics wrote. Another journalist even concluded that the author was making fun of the audience. At the very end of the year, however, the symphony was successfully performed in Berlin. His novelty was conducted by the author, the rest of the program was led by Richard Strauss. Two years later, the composition was already on the program of the subscription cycle of the Vienna Philharmonic.

Mahler’s Fourth is lighter than his previous symphonies. The orchestra is more modest, for example, missing trombones and tuba, in the vocal part the alto is replaced by a soprano. The basic musical motif is the song Heavenly Life from the collection of German folk and old songs The Boy’s Magic Horn. It refers to the child’s understanding of heaven as a safe eternity.
