Berliner Philharmoniker

Gustavo Dudamel conducts Mahler’s Sixth

Concert

Herbert-von-Karajan-Str. 1, 10785 Berlin

Berlin Philharmonic

Concert program

Gustav Mahler
Symphony No. 6

Description

“The Sixth is his most personal work, and a prophetic one at that” – said Gustav Mahler’s wife Alma. And in fact, with its apocalyptic tonal language, which is only occasionally lightened, the symphony seems to anticipate Mahler’s great personal catastrophes: the diagnosis of a heart condition, the death of his daughter, and professional failures. It is music that looks into the abyss. Gustavo Dudamel, one of the world’s most popular conductors, directs this performance. He has already performed Mahler symphonies on several occasions with the Berliner Philharmoniker.
