Concert information
Info
Gustavo Dudamel is among today’s great Mahler conductors, and with the Berliner Philharmoniker he has repeatedly earned praise for interpretations that are as passionate as they are precise. This season, he returns with Mahler’s Symphony No. 7, with its two shadowy, atmospheric Nachtmusik movements. Dudamel has described the symphony as “cosmic” and as a “book of life”: “There is simply everything here: a funeral march, sarcasm, grandeur, chaos, beauty,” he says. The Venezuelan conductor has even discovered echoes of tango within this vast score.

People around Mahler
Many supporters and friends of Mahler were present when the Seventh Symphony was premiered in Prague in 1908, among them Alban Berg and the conductors Otto Klemperer and Bruno Walter. Although Mahler was an individualist in many respects, he sought personal and professional exchange with others. His contacts tell us a great deal about Gustav Mahler and his world.
