program
Vienna Philharmonic | Tugan Sokhiev | Mozart | Mahler
When people think of Mozart's G minor Symphony, most think of the so-called "Great," the middle of his legendary last three symphonies, whose opening section has become a popular mobile phone ringtone. But there is also the "Little": a wild early work by the 17-year-old composer, whose impetuous expressiveness and stark dynamic contrasts are the epitome of Sturm und Drang music. With the Ossetian conductor Tugan Sokhiev on the podium, the Vienna Philharmonic will present this "other" Mozart, who sounds nothing like delicate Rococo. Afterwards, they will unleash the storms of life and love with Gustav Mahler's autobiographically inspired First Symphony. Sokhiev particularly admires Mahler's debut and finds it exceptionally dramatic: "For me, Mahler has always been a man of the theater," he explains. "He had certain images in mind when he composed." If you close your eyes during the first movement, you feel as if you are right in the middle of nature. Or the third movement: it is decidedly ironic with its depiction of the animals, unsure whether to celebrate or mourn the hunter's death. And in the finale, life triumphs.
