| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Tuesday 12-Apr-11 07:30pm Maazel: Mahler Cycle 2011 ‘The symphony is a world’ Mahler proclaimed to Sibelius, and few composers have written music that conjures up as vast a range of musical imagery as his First Symphony. From the evocative opening, marked ‘like a sound of nature’, to a funeral march based on Frère Jacques and the sounds of military and folk bands it is a work of enormous power and breadth. Mahler’s symphonies are intimately connected to his songs and Maestro Maazel has chosen the finest interpreters of Mahler’s vocal music to illuminate this music across the cycle. Tonight we hear Michelle DeYoung perform the cycle Songs of a Wayfarer, the second song of which became the theme of the First Symphony’s opening movement. | ||

| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Sunday 17-Apr-11 07:30pm Maazel: Mahler Cycle 2011 Scored for a vast orchestra, including ten horns, eight trumpets and an off-stage brass band, together with two solo singers and massed voices, the monumental Resurrection Symphony opens in the darkness of death and moves through the gamut of emotions, to a visionary choral finale in which the heavens open. | ||

|
| ||
| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Tuesday 19-Apr-11 07:30pm Maazel: Mahler Cycle 2011 A powerful and emotionally-charged symphony, Mahler considered renaming his Sixth the ‘Tragic’. It reaches a shattering conclusion in the Finale that represents ‘the hero, on whom fall three hammer-blows of fate, the last of which fells him as a tree is felled.’ | ||

| Anvil, Basingstoke, Basingstoke RG21 7QR, United Kingdom Thursday 21-Apr-11 07:45pm Philharmonia Orchestra Mozart's wind serenades range from genial entertainments to serious masterpieces, and this C minor work is one of the very best. Mahler's Sixth Symphony was composed between 1903 and 1905. This was outwardly the happiest period of the composer's life, but the symphony turned out to be an epic and disturbing work, about which Mahler later developed a superstitious fear. It begins with a frighteningly energetic arch, followed by a scherzo and a delicately scored andante. The huge final movement is a turbulent struggle interrupted by 'hammer blows of Fate' which lead the work to its tragic conclusion. The Philharmonia Orchestra is Anvil Arts' Orchestra in Partnership. | ||

| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Thursday 28-Apr-11 07:30pm Maazel: Mahler Cycle 2011 Mahler’s Rückert-Lieder, settings of poems by Friedrich Rückert, dwell on a variety of Mahlerian themes, including love and life, loneliness and death. This evening they are paired with Mahler’s sunniest symphony, which in its final movement depicts a child’s view of paradise with a soprano setting of the Wunderhorn song ‘Das himmlisches Leben’ (The Heavenly Life). | ||

| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Thursday 5-May-11 07:30pm Maazel: Mahler Cycle 2011 ‘A great performance of the Fifth is a transforming experience’, Herbert von Karajan once said. A work of huge emotional scope, it opens with a funereal trumpet solo and ends in a triumphant, exuberant finale. The serene poise of the famous Adagietto at its heart is anticipated in Urlicht, a beautiful setting of the religious folk-poem ‘Primeval Light’, one of six song settings from the collection of German folk poetry Des Knaben Wunderhorn also performed this evening. | ||

| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Sunday 8-May-11 07:30pm Maazel: Mahler Cycle 2011 A hymn to the natural world, Mahler’s Third Symphony is his most expansive, with a massive first movement suggesting the awakening of spring , four contrasting middle movements and a slow-building Adagio finale marked ‘Slow. Calm. Deeply felt.’ in which, in Mahler’s words, ‘Nature in its tonality may ring and resound’. | ||

|
| ||
| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Thursday 26-May-11 07:30pm Maazel: Mahler Cycle 2011 Sometimes called ‘Song of the Night’, Mahler’s Seventh Symphony is a journey from night to day. An opening movement inspired by an evening boat ride on an alpine lake, two ‘Nachtmusik’ movements and a ghostly scherzo give the work its nocturnal quality before sunlight emerges in its jubilant finale. | ||

| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Thursday 29-Sep-11 07:30pm Maazel: Mahler Cycle 2011 Mahler’s valedictory symphonic song cycle Das Lied von der Erde is one of his most personal and beautiful works. The six songs are settings of translated ancient Chinese poems that celebrate life’s joys and mourn life’s brevity. It is performed this evening alongside Mahler’s final symphonic statement, the Adagio from his unfinished Tenth Symphony. | ||

| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Saturday 1-Oct-11 07:30pm Maazel: Mahler Cycle 2011 An intensely personal work heard as both the ultimate farewell and a final homecoming Leonard Bernstein said of Mahler’s last completed work “It is terrifying, and paralyzing, as the strands of sound disintegrate ... in ceasing, we lose it all. But in letting go, we have gained everything.” | ||

|

| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Sunday 9-Oct-11 07:30pm Maazel: Mahler Cycle 2011 Mahler’s mightiest symphony, often known as ‘The Symphony of a Thousand’ calls for huge orchestral forces, eight soloists, a boys’ chorus and large mixed chorus. Described by the composer as his ‘gift to the whole nation’ it is an epic drama in two parts, the first a setting of a Medieval Latin hymn Veni Creator Spiritus, and the second a setting of the final scene of Goethe’s Faust. | ||
