On Robin Ticciati ‘s performance of Mahler’s Fourth Symphony, the Berliner Morgenpost noted that the piece is seldom heard so “…naturally flowing, without mannerisms, with beguilingly beautiful pianissimi”. This unusually sunny Mahler symphony is also on the programme when the chief conductor of the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin makes his debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker. It is preceded by two Czech works: Antonín Dvořák’s haunting The Noon Witch and Ondřej Adámek’s Sinuous Voices, in which a tangle of human voices is imaginatively recreated by an instrumental ensemble.
