»Gustav Mahler hatte in gewisser Weise Einfluss auf jeden, der nach ihm Musik geschrieben hat: Er hatte den Mut, subjektiv zu sein.« So charakterisiert der Komponist, Dirigent und Elbphilharmonie-Residenzkünstler Matthias Pintscher seinen großen Kollegen. Die große Emotionalität von Mahlers Musik verraten schon die Vortragsanweisungen seiner Sechsten Symphonie: »Wie gepeitscht – Wie wütend dreinfahren – Wie ein Axthieb«, heißt es in der Partitur.

Selbst Herdenglockengebimmel und Hammerschläge band Mahler in seine Musik ein; der musikalische Ausdruck kannte für ihn keine Grenzen. Dieser unbedingte Wille zur persönlichen Artikulation prägt auch Pintschers eigenes Schaffen: »Ich schreibe Musik ganz aus mir selbst heraus«, lautet seine Devise. Sein neuestes Stück ist zugleich eng mit dem Ort verbunden, an dem es nun erklingt: Er schrieb es eigens für die Eröffnungssaison der Elbphilharmonie.

Deutsch

»To a certain extent, Gustav Mahler had an influence on every composer who came after him: he had the courage to be subjective.« Thus the composer, conductor and Elbphilharmonie Artist in Residence Matthias Pintscher characterises his great predecessor.  Mahler’s performing instructions for his Sixth Symphony give evidence of the great emotionality of his music: the score contains markings like »As if lashed with a whip – Full of anger – Like the blow of an axe«.

Mahler even incorporated goats’ bells and hammer blows into his music: he knew no limits to musical expression. This determination to articulate his personal feelings also marks Pintscher’s own work: »I write music entirely from within myself« is his maxim. His latest composition is also closely linked to the place where it is now heard: he wrote it specially for the Elbphilharmonie’s inaugural season.
