About Mahler, Brahms and Bruckner
Das klagende Lied is Mahler’s musical coming-of-age – an insight into one of the great musical minds of all time and a chilling tale of jealousy, murder and magic.
Written for colossal orchestral and choral forces, an eerie woodland and a lively wedding ceremony form the setting for this dramatic and beautiful fable. Paired with a first half full of hearty celebration, this is the perfect concert for a summer’s night.
