The Gustav Mahler Celebration

Symphony No. 2 (Totenfeier and excerpts)
Rheinlegendchen
Ging heut' morgen ubers Feld
Urlicht
Ich atmet einen Lindenduft
Es sungen drei Engel
Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen
Trost im Ungluck
Wo die schonen Trompeten blasen

Mahler Chamber Orchestra / Manfred Honeck, conductor

Exactly one hundred and fi fty years after the birth of the brilliant composer and conductor Gustav Mahler, a select band of artists gathered in his birthplace, Kaliste, to honour his creative talent in a very special way. Under the direction of the Austrian conductor Manfred Honeck and accompanied by the internationally acclaimed Mahler Chamber Orchestra, three world-famous soloists came to pay tribute to Mahler at a gala concert: Thomas Hampson, Anne Sofie von Otter and Marita Solberg. The result was an unforgettable summer evening of classical music made up of outstanding excerpts from Mahler’s Second Symphony and his best-known orchestral songs, performed on an impressive open-air stage against the backdrop of an idyllic natural setting - it was, in short, a worthy tribute to the great Gustav Mahler.
