The »Symphony of a Thousand« is the nickname of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 8, and it bears this name for a reason. With its large orchestration, including many vocal soloists and choirs, it has a fullness of sound that reaches almost operatic proportions. Hamburg’s General Music Director Kent Nagano has regretfully had to cancel his participation due to health reasons. The Israeli conductor Eliahu Inbal will be stepping in for him.

Mahler’s music has accompanied the empathic conductor for many years, especially since he followed Mahler’s footsteps and became head of Hamburg’s Opera House. One could say that the two are kindred spirits.

For Mahler’s monumental work, Nagano recruits wonderful soloists and his powerful opera ensemble. Joining them on stage: the renowned Stuttgart light artist rosalie, who previously designed the lighting for Wagner’s »Ring« at the Bayreuth Festival. She contributes an additional visual layer to the concert.

English

Die »Sinfonie der Tausend« wird Gustav Mahlers achte Sinfonie genannt, und diesen Beinamen trägt sie zu Recht. Mit ihrer gigantischen Besetzung inklusive mehrerer Gesangssolisten und Chöre und einer schier überbordenden Klangfülle nimmt sie geradezu opernhafte Ausmaße an.

Hamburgs Generalmusikdirektor Kent Nagano musste seine Mitwirkung an dem Konzert leider aus gesundheitlichen Gründen absagen. Für ihn springt der israelische Dirigent Eliahu Inbal ein.

Neben fabelhaften Solisten hat das Philharmonische Staatsorchester die geballte Kraft seines Opernensembles herangezogen. Ebenfalls mit dabei: Die renommierte Stuttgarter Lichtkünstlerin rosalie, die schon Wagners »Ring« bei den Bayreuther Festspielen ins rechte Licht setzte und nun dem Konzert noch eine weitere, visuelle Ebene hinzufügt.
