Mahler 4 in small ensemble

Programme

  • Alban Berg Sieben frühe Lieder
  • Franz Schubert Nacht und Träume
  • Gustav Mahler Fourth symphony

Mahler's Fourth Symphony as chamber music? That's what the innovative collective LUDWIG has in store. The Fourth is the most accessible among Mahler's symphonies. It opens with the rural tinkling of sleigh bells. With the slow movement, Mahler delivered some of his finest pages, not inferior to the Adagietto from the Fifth Symphony. And the work ends with a soprano solo, "Wir geniessen die himmlischen Freuden," which describes the convivial company of saints and angels in heaven, seen through the eyes of a child. Mahler wrote for this: 'with childlike, cheerful expression, without parody'. Conductor Antal Doráti once aptly described the Finale as "a Sunday morning in heaven.
