The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra from Amsterdam feels a particularly strong connection with the music of Gustav Mahler, a composer who often conducted his own music in Amsterdam. In the opening concert of Musikfest Berlin 2023, the Concertgebouw Orchestra presents Mahler’s turbulent Seventh Symphony, conducted by its honorary guest conductor Iván Fischer. This is preceded by orchestral songs by Jörg Widmann, music full of tender reminiscences of the music of Mahler and the early Romantics.
