Junge Deutsche Philharmonie | Jonathan Nott by Mahler, sun 15 sep 2024, Frá (2024/2024), Hljómsveitarstjóri Jonathan Nott, Kölner Philharmonie, Cologne, Germany

The Junge Deutsche Philharmonie is celebrating its 50th birthday! This talent factory for aspiring orchestra musicians was founded in 1974. Since then, the orchestra has worked regularly with top conductors and top soloists. This includes Jonathan Nott, who is both principal guest conductor and artistic advisor. The orchestra is now celebrating its anniversary with this Mahler expert - with the breathtaking 7th Symphony. Funeral march ideas and bizarre waltz spooks, jubilant fanfares as well as herd bells and folk songs in the two "Night Music" movements - these are the distinctive sound calling cards of Gustav Mahler's 7th Symphony, which was premiered in Prague in 1908. And in view of its entire, incredibly colorful wealth of facets, this opus magnum is considered by many to be Mahler's most typical work.
