They are a dream couple on the big stages of the international concert world: star conductor Sir Simon Rattle and his wife, the celebrated mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená. Together with the British tenor Andrew Staples, they dedicate themselves to Gustav Mahler's symphonic song cycle »Das Lied von der Erde« during their guest appearance at the Elbphilharmonie.

The two singers have already proven several times that they can cope with the demanding vocal roles in Mahler's monumental late work, most recently in a joint livestream from the London Barbican Center. "Staples and Kožená were able to build up an incredible amount of tension in the empty hall," said the stream review. Mahler's cycle, which Anton Webern once described as the setting of »Life's passing by«, juxtaposes Rattle and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, founded by Claudio Abbado, with one of the last works by Richard Strauss. In his "Metamorphoses" for 23 solo strings, the composer creates an eerily beautiful and melodious farewell mood - a concert evening full of melancholy and touching beauty.
