Chief conductor Edward Gardner has massive powers at his disposal when he opens the season with Gustav Mahler's boundary-breaking and visionary symphony about the universe and humanity's struggle for eternal salvation.

Mahler's gigantic and monumental resurrection symphony addresses humanity's great questions – life, death and the afterlife, faith and love. The visionary symphony moves from darkness to light, and from death to hope, to life and resurrection. "You are knocked to the ground and then lifted up to the highest peaks on angel wings", the composer himself is said to have said of the work.

If Mahler doubted an all-powerful god, he perhaps believed more in the redemptive power of love. In a humanistic perspective, resurrection here can be understood as rising from the dead to enter and take part in the full life here and now.

The American conductor Leonard Bernstein chose Mahler's Second Symphony precisely when the assassinated President Kennedy was to be remembered. Bernstein justified his choice by saying that we must not only pray for the resurrection of those we loved, but also for the mourners' own hopes to live on. Alan Gilbert did the same when the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York in 2001 was marked.

Chief conductor Edward Gardner has massive forces at his disposal – a large orchestra, two soloists, three choirs, church bells, an organ and a separate ensemble behind the stage.

Approved

Mahlers gigantiske og monumentale oppstandelsessymfoni tar opp menneskehetens store spørsmål – livet, døden og livet etter, tro og kjærlighet. Den visjonære symfonien beveger seg fra mørke til lys, og fra død til håp, til liv og oppstandelse. «Du slås i bakken og løftes så opp på de høyeste tinder på englevinger», skal komponisten selv ha sagt om verket.

Om Mahler tvilte på en allmektig gud, trodde han kanskje mer på kjærlighetens forløsende kraft. I et humanistisk perspektiv kan oppstandelse her forstås som å stå opp fra de døde for å gå inn og ta del i det fulle livet her og nå.

Den amerikanske dirigenten Leonard Bernstein valgte nettopp Mahlers andre symfoni da den myrdede President Kennedy skulle minnes. Bernstein begrunnet valget sitt med at vi ikke bare måtte be om oppstandelse for de vi elsket, men også for at de sørgendes egne håp skulle leve videre. Alan Gilbert gjorde det samme da terrorangrepet på World Trade Center i New York i 2001 ble markert.

Sjefdirigent Edward Gardner har massive krefter til sin rådighet – stort orkester, to sangsolister, tre kor, kirkeklokker, orgel og et eget ensemble bak scenen.
