Mahler's Ninth Symphony from the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam
Daniel Harding conducts the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Mahler's Ninth Symphony and a short companion piece by young Dutch composer Rick van Veldhuizen.
Mahler's Ninth Symphony from the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam.
Daniel Harding directed this performance in the Autumn of 2022, as the world emerged from lockdown. Mahler bade ‘farewell to all those he loved and to the world. And to his art, his life, his music,’ wrote Willem Mengelberg, Mahler's friend and chief conductor of the Concertgebouw Orchestra from 1895 to 1945. At the same time, the symphony is an ode to the beauty of life. This extremely personal work has always had great significance for the Concertgebouw Orchestra with Bernard Haitink’s last Christmas Matinee performance still etched in the minds of many.
Mahler’s exploration of the borders between life and death, beauty and pain, inspired the young Dutch composer Rick van Veldhuizen to compose mais le corps taché d'ombres, a beautiful, short companion piece to Mahler’s Ninth, commissioned by the Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Mahler Foundation.
Presented by Fiona Talkington.
