Bruckner 7

Description

Mahler & Bruckner Welcome to the cathedral of music. Bruckner's tonal universe bursts every frame of the soul - and Mahler's intimacy lays bare the soul's innermost refuge. "I always look forward to playing the Wagner tuba in Bruckner's 7th. When you play the melody at the start of the second movement, you are holding the instrument of the soul - and when it succeeds, you create a moment in which you can experience closeness to something divine. Right there you have the best job in the world!" - Flemming Aksnes, horn Mahler's Rückert-Lieder invite us into an intimate, heartfelt universe, where voice and orchestra are united in one shared project. The soloist is the Norwegian mezzo-soprano Marianne Beate Kielland, a singer with a rich, supple voice and a musicianship that reaches every corner of the concert hall. In the Seventh Symphony Anton Bruckner creates a cathedral of sound, a tribute to God and to music. The music rises to the very edge of our comprehension and emotional capacity - and perhaps a little further. The symphony is a journey through radiant clarity, heartbreaking melancholy and irresistible energy. A joint concert with Lumbye Akademiet Programme: Gustav Mahler / Rückert-Lieder Anton Bruckner / Symphony No. 7
