PROGRAMME

  • Johannes Brahms / Detlev GlanertFour Preludes and Serious Songs
  • Gustav MahlerSymphony No. 9

In 2005, German composer Detlev Glanert orchestrated Johannes Brahms’ “Four Serious Songs”, weaving them into a seamless score. Each song is introduced by a prelude, culminating in an orchestral postlude that enriches the work with dark yet expressive harmonies and rich orchestration.

Mahler’s Ninth Symphony, his final completed work, is a profound contemplation on life and death—a farewell to existence.
