Song of the Earth
Gemma New, conductor, Rihab Chaieb, mezzo-soprano, Mario Bahg, tenor, Jonathan Crow, violin — August 1, 2019, 7:30 pm at Koerner Hall.
Mozart: Violin Concerto No. 5 in A Major, K. 219 “Turkish”
Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde (arr. Schoenberg/Riehn)
Mozart adopted the quasi-Middle Eastern or “Turkish” style that was popular in his day. In Das Lied von der Erde, Mahler’s symphony for voices and instruments, he set German translations of wise, insightful Chinese poems that date back to the eighth century. Together, the words and music address, in soul-stirring fashion, some of the most poignant of all philosophical ideas. Among them are the meanings of life, love, and death, the searing reality of loneliness, and the eternal mystery of reality versus illusion.
