Mahlers niende symfoni: Symphony No. 9 Mahler

If Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde offers a poetic reflection on mortality, the work that followed represents a naked encounter with death that writhes and thrashes in horror.

Before writing his Symphony No. 9, Mahler had endured the death of his eldest daughter and learned that he, too, had limited time left on earth. His response was to plunge into the heart of darkness with a symphony in which everything, ultimately, is reduced to dust and ashes.

Mahler’s Ninth represents both the spiritual nadir of the composer’s later years and, for many, the high point of his career as a composer. It is music in which composer’s distinctive hard-edge rubs up against a sort of ruined beauty, and whose desperate bid for life excites as much as its poignant acceptance of death sooths.

Sir Mark Elder returns to lead the orchestra in Mahler’s last finished work.

English

Gustav Mahler skrev sin episke niende symfoni mot slutten av sitt liv, i 1909. Selv fikk han aldri høre verket framført. 

Symfonien representerer et farvel til livet, og selv skrev Mahler følgende ord i den endelige versjonen av partituret:

O Jugendzeit! Entschwundene! O Liebe! Verwehte!
(O ungdomstid! Tapt! O kjærlighet! Tatt av vinden!)

Den store sistesatsen ebber langsomt ut, som et sakte og resignert farvel.
