Markus Poschner conducts Mahler's "Titan" Symphony

OVERVIEW

Brace yourself for Mahler’s “Titan” Symphony—a whirlwind of nature’s awakening, a wedding procession, a funeral march, and a finale that could move mountains. With its vivid orchestration and emotional punches, this symphony stands as a testament to Mahler’s genius, blending folk influences with grandeur that will leave you breathless.

Preceding this monumental work is Béla Bartók’s Piano Concerto No. 3, a heart-wrenching gift to his wife, crafted during his battle with leukemia. The piano and orchestra dance in intimate harmony, starting with serenity, turning raw with emotion, and wrapping up in a deeply reflective and profound farewell.
