Klaus Mäkelä Conducts Mahler’s Third symphony
Gustav Mahler’s great vision for orchestra, choirs and soloists
Het Concertgebouw, Amsterdam
In eight concerts, the Concertgebouw Orchestra introduces you to a colourful cross-section of symphonic repertoire.
The Concertgebouw Orchestra’s D series offers a colourful cross-section of symphonic repertoire. This coming season, the series will have a glowing start with Mahler’s ‘big, friendly, giant’, his Third Symphony, under the baton of by artistic partner Klaus Mäkelä. Schönberg’s Gurre-Lieder, conducted here by Riccardo Chailly, is equally rich in brilliant details while using an even larger group of musicians. The orchestra last played the compelling cantata one hundred years ago, with the composer himself conducting. This season marks the 150th anniversary of Schönberg’s birth. The orchestra will then be considerably pared down for the eighteenth-century works of Handel and Rameau, led by Emmanuelle Haïm.
In addition, this series offers listeners the comforting embrace of Brahms’ Requiem performed by John Eliot Gardiner and his Monteverdi Choir. The music of Dutch composers Theo Loevendie and Leo Smit is paired with the exotic sounds of Ravel. In fact, that French orchestral wizard also provided the colourful orchestration of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, which will be conducted by Klaus Mäkelä. And finally, don’t miss the opportunity to become better acquainted with Bruckner’s Third and Fifth Symphonies!
