Alma Mahler ist im Wien der Jahrhundertwende die Muse etlicher Künstler. Ihre eigenen künstlerischen Ambitionen muss sie jedoch der Liebe opfern. Ihr Ehemann Gustav Mahler duldet nur einen Komponisten in der Familie: sich selbst. Dennoch erkennt er später, welch Unheil er damit angerichtet hat, seiner jungen Frau das Komponieren zu verbieten. 1910 wählt er aus ihren frühen Werken fünf Lieder zum Druck aus. Doch es ist zu spät: Die lange Kompositionspause hat Almas künstlerische Entwicklung zum Erliegen gebracht, sie komponiert nur noch sehr wenig. Und auch die Ehe kriselt weiter; 1911 schliesslich stirbt Gustav Mahler. Erstmals werden nun Kompositionen von Alma Mahler in der Diskothek besprochen: die «Fünf Lieder» aus den Jahren vor 1901; gedruckt 1910. Gäste von Jenny Berg sind die Sängerin Silke Gäng und der Musikbibliothekar Markus Erni. Erstausstrahlung: 03.05.2021
Andrés Amorós dedica el programa a la obra de Gustav Mahler.
Jahrzehnte hat es gedauert, bis Gustav Mahler nach seinem Tod 1911 in den internationalen Konzertsälen heimisch geworden ist. Heute ist seine Musik aus den Programmen nicht mehr wegzudenken. Mit dem Namen Mahler sind vor allem seine neun vollendeten Sinfonien verbunden. Doch gerade in jungen Jahren hat der Komponist auch eine Reihe von Liedern geschrieben, die wesentlich zur Entwicklung seines unverwechselbaren musikalischen Stils beigetragen haben. Jetzt hat der Pianist Joseph Middleton mit mehreren Sängerinnen und Sängern ein Album veröffentlicht, dass sich diesen frühen Liedern widmet.

Send us Fan MailWhy are there so many violins in a symphony orchestra?In this episode of The Classical Music Minute, we explore the role of the violin section and why it often contains more players than any other group in the orchestra.Because a single violin produces a relatively delicate sound, many players are needed to create the rich, powerful sonority associated with orchestral strings. Violins also perform much of the orchestra's melodic and harmonic material, making them central to the overall musical texture.Large orchestras often include twenty to thirty violins split between first and second violin sections, helping balance the sound of the brass, woodwinds, and percussion.In just sixty seconds, discover why the violin became the largest section of the modern orchestra.Fun FactIn some of the largest late-Romantic works, composers such as Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss called for string sections so large that more than forty violins could be on stage at the same time.About The Classical Music MinuteThe Classical Music Minute is a short podcast exploring fascinating stories, quirky history, and surprising facts from the world of classical music—all in about sixty seconds.Each episode offers a quick and entertaining glimpse into composers, masterpieces, musical traditions, and the curious moments that shaped music history.You can also read the written versions of these episodes on Substack, where they're published as short articles delivered directly to subscribers.About Steven, HostSteven Hobé is a Canadian composer and actor based in Toronto and a member of the Canadian League of Composers.

Today we visit the rare recorded output my beloved teacher, Joan Caplan (15 October 1932 – 19 April 2025), live performances made during her active years as a song recitalist and as an opera and oratorio singer. We hear her complete performances of Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird by Peggy Glanville-Hicks, the Cinco canciones negras by Xavier Montsalvatge, and the Zigeunerlieder of Johannes Brahms, as well as songs by Gustav Mahler from the German folk poetry collection Des Knaben Wunderhorn and arias by Handel, Vivaldi, Hasse, and Donizetti. This episode constitutes the continuation of a promise that I made to Joan before she died that I would do my utmost to ensure that she never be forgotten for the great teacher and singer that she was. The episode also includes a memorial tribute full of insights and anecdotes that I recorded in her memory last year. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Paola Capriolo, Teresa Maresca"Il canto della luna"Con la traduzione dal tedesco del "Canto della terra" di Gustav MahlerBibliotheka Edizioniwww.bibliotheka.itNell'autunno 1907 fu pubblicata in Germania l'antologia Il flauto cinese, un centinaio di liriche di autori compresi tra il XII secolo a. C. e l'epoca contemporanea. Gustav Mahler ne venne a conoscenza e l'incontro con quelle poesie ebbe un immediato riflesso sulla sua opera. Nel 1908, sulle Dolomiti, dove trascorse le ultime estati della sua vita, compose infatti il ciclo di lieder Il Canto della Terra, basato su sette poesie della raccolta, traendo spunto per la maggior parte da Li Po (702 – 763). L'ombra fascinosa e potente di uno dei capolavori della musica del ‘900 ha suggerito alla scrittrice Paola Capriolo e all'artista Teresa Maresca un libro a quattro mani che intreccia in modo personalissimo e originale letteratura, pittura e musica.Paola Capriolo vive e lavora a Milano.Ha esordito nel 1988 con i racconti de La Grande Eulalia (Premio Berto), in seguito Il Nocchiero (Premio Rapallo, Premio Selezione Campiello), Il Doppio Regno (Premio Grinzane Cavour), e, tra gli altri, Una Luce Nerissima, Il Pianista Muto, Mi ricordo, Marie e il signor Mahler, Irina Nikolaevna.Tutti i suoi romanzi sono stati tradotti in molte lingue. Ha tradotto classici della letteratura tedesca, tra cui Goethe, Kafka, Kleist, Thomas Mann. Teresa Maresca vive a Milano dagli anni '80.Con una pittura figurativa e visionaria lavora sui temi del paesaggio, spesso rivisto attraverso la memoria cinematografica o la poesia.Hanno scritto di lei Carlo Sini, Sergio Givone, Lalla Romano, Roberto Sanesi, Paolo Biscottini.Ha pubblicato il libro Il Primitivo del Sogno su arte, natura e pensiero primitivo e ha in preparazione la mostra-installazione Stars&Bones per la Fabbrica del Vapore di Milano.

Ein Bauernhaus in Toblach, eine zugige Holzhütte – und Musik an der Grenze zum Unendlichen: Mahlers 9. Sinfonie klingt wie ein Abschied, aber auch wie ein letzter großer Liebesbrief an die Welt. Von Christoph Vratz.
Durante décadas, Armande de Polignac permaneceu praticamente ausente da história da música. O seu nome desapareceu dos programas de concerto e muitas obras sobreviveram apenas em manuscritos dispersos. Agora, os pianistas Bruno Belthoise e João Costa Ferreira recuperam a compositora num disco que inclui primeiras gravações mundiais, revelando uma figura essencial da transição entre o romantismo tardio e a modernidade musical francesa do início do século XX. Esquecida durante mais de um século, Armande de Polignac regressa agora através de um disco de Bruno Belthoise e João Costa Ferreira, dedicado a manuscritos reencontrados e primeiras gravações mundiais. Entre simbolismo, impressionismo e modernismo do início do século XX, o álbum revela uma compositora singular, cuja obra foi apagada da memória musical apesar da originalidade, da estética e da proximidade aos grandes centros artísticos franceses do início do século XX. “A música de Armande de Polignac é realmente uma coisa para descobrir”, começa por contar Bruno Belthoise. Para o pianista francês, a compositora pertence a um momento decisivo da cultura europeia, em que as mulheres começaram lentamente a conquistar espaço no universo da criação musical. “Ela fazia parte de uma família muito dedicada às artes e à música” e iniciou “muito jovem” os seus estudos musicais. Sobretudo, acrescenta Bruno Belthoise, pertenceu a uma geração que beneficiou de mudanças profundas na sociedade francesa: “Nos séculos antigos era quase impossível ser mulher compositora.” Bruno Belthoise recorda que o início do século XX coincidiu com a abertura gradual das grandes instituições musicais às mulheres. “Ela aproveitou uma dinâmica muito importante”, explica, referindo-se ao momento em que compositoras passaram a poder apresentar-se ao Prix de Rome. “Estas mulheres começaram a ser mais conhecidas no início do século XX.” Embora Armande de Polignac nunca tenha concorrido ao prémio, desenvolveu uma carreira intensa e ligada ao meio musical parisiense. “Ela dedicou a vida inteira à composição”, sublinha Bruno Belthoise. Estudou com figuras fundamentais da música francesa, entre elas Vincent d'Indy, Eugène Gigout e Gabriel Fauré. “Deixou uma obra muito importante, quase 200 obras em todos os domínios”, acrescenta. Música para piano, música de câmara, obras orquestrais, ópera e ballet fazem parte de um catálogo hoje ainda pouco conhecido. A compositora dirigiu igualmente as suas próprias obras no Théâtre du Châtelet, em Paris, e estreou a ópera Petite Sirène na Opéra de Nice. Para Bruno Belthoise, Armande de Polignac “simboliza a passagem entre a música romântica e a música moderna francesa”, num território onde convivem o impressionismo, o simbolismo e as novas linguagens do século XX. Ainda assim, a compositora acabou por desaparecer quase totalmente da memória musical europeia. “As suas obras não foram muito divulgadas, não foram muito editadas”, lamenta Bruno Belthoise. Grande parte da produção permaneceu inédita ou acessível apenas através de manuscritos. “Mesmo apesar de poder participar na programação de concertos em Paris, as mulheres não eram muito destacadas.” Ao ouvir o disco, a ausência prolongada na história da música de Armande de Polignac torna-se difícil de compreender. João Costa Ferreira descreve uma música construída sobre timbres delicados e ressonâncias quase suspensas. “Quando ouvimos Nos Jardins do Palácio do Sultão, sentimos esse universo tímbrico muito especial”, explica. O pianista português destaca ainda a importância do instrumento utilizado na gravação: “Havia um Steinway cujas características permitiam certas coisas que outros pianos não permitem.” A estética de Armande de Polignac revela uma forte influência do exotismo francês do início do século XX. João Costa Ferreira fala numa “procura por cores de países longínquos, como o mundo árabe e sobretudo o mundo asiático”. A compositora escreveu obras inspiradas na China, no Japão e nas atmosferas orientais das Mil e Uma Noites. “Ela seguia essa corrente estética modernista da procura por essas sonoridades exóticas”, acrescenta. Segundo João Costa Ferreira, essa linguagem resulta tanto do ambiente artístico parisiense como da influência directa dos mestres com quem Armande de Polignac estudou. “Vê-se claramente a influência dos seus pares e da sua época”, observa. A tradição impressionista francesa, marcada por Debussy e pelas Exposições Universais de Paris, atravessa muitas destas obras. Ainda assim, as referências nunca surgem como mera imitação. Há ecos de Fauré, Debussy ou mesmo de certas escolas russas, mas a escrita mantém sempre uma identidade própria. Bruno Belthoise enquadra essa diversidade no ambiente cultural extremamente aberto do início do século XX. “Era tudo aberto no início do século XX”, afirma. “Tchaikovsky chegou a Paris no fim do século XIX, Gustav Mahler no início do século XX. Essa convergência era importante para desenvolver a imaginação dos compositores.” Na escrita pianística, Bruno Belthoise identifica “uma mistura entre romantismo e modernismo”, associada a um trabalho particularmente sofisticado sobre a ressonância sonora. “Da maneira francesa, havia realmente este desenvolvimento do piano através das ressonâncias do instrumento”, explica. “Mas também a parte russa desenvolveu muito a escrita para piano.” Para João Costa Ferreira, interpretar estas partituras implica uma experiência rara no mundo contemporâneo da música clássica: tocar obras praticamente sem memória auditiva acumulada. “Hoje em dia, quando interpretamos Chopin ou Beethoven, temos todas as referências auditivas dessas obras”, explica. “Aqui criamos uma interpretação a partir do nada.” Esse desafio tornou-se central no percurso artístico dos dois pianistas. “Sentimos que estamos a descobrir algo pela primeira vez”, afirma João Costa Ferreira. “Propor uma primeira escuta, uma primeira interpretação de algo que nunca foi ouvido, pelo menos nos últimos cem anos, é muito estimulante.” Bruno Belthoise partilha a mesma visão. “Procurar repertório diferente é importante para nós”, diz. “Descobrir obras novas é uma coisa muito estimulante.” Esse trabalho de redescoberta já levou os dois pianistas a explorar repertórios esquecidos de compositores como José Vianna da Motta, Fernando Lopes-Graça ou Gabriel Fauré. Mas este disco surge também de uma dimensão pessoal. Bruno Belthoise revela que a ideia do projecto nasceu de “duas influências diferentes”. A primeira foi o pianista francês Laurent Martin, figura central na recuperação de compositoras francesas esquecidas. “O Laurent Martin gravou muitos discos e interpretou muitas vezes compositoras francesas”, recorda Bruno Belthoise. “Ele confiou-me uma quantidade de partituras dela, perguntando-me se eu estaria interessado em trabalhar a obra de Armande de Polignac para a fazer conhecer”. Essa transmissão entre músicos revelou-se decisiva para o projecto. Laurent Martin, conhecido pelo trabalho de investigação em torno do romantismo francês e das compositoras esquecidas, funcionou como verdadeiro impulsionador da redescoberta de Armande de Polignac. A segunda influência surgiu em Lisboa, através de uma descoberta inesperada. Um manuscrito de Cloches, ligado à família Assis de Barros, apareceu nas mãos de Bruno Belthoise graças ao investigador João Pedro Mendes dos Santos. “Foi exactamente como um arqueólogo”, admite o pianista francês. “Esse manuscrito surgiu completamente sem preparação e caiu nas minhas mãos.” A descoberta revelou uma ligação pouco conhecida entre Armande de Polignac e Portugal. “Ela tinha uma ligação particular à família Assis de Barros e visitou Lisboa várias vezes”, explica Bruno Belthoise. O disco inclui ainda várias obras para piano a quatro mãos, formação que exige uma relação muito específica entre intérpretes. “Tocar a quatro mãos é uma coisa de que gosto imenso”, afirma Bruno Belthoise. “É um pequeno exercício de equilibrismo.” A proximidade física obriga a reinventar gestos, movimentos e respirações. “É muito importante ensaiar juntos”, acrescenta. “Não podemos fazer piano a quatro mãos sem esse trabalho comum.” Para João Costa Ferreira, essa construção colectiva faz parte da própria identidade artística do duo. “Este desafio é completamente diferente do que gravar o grande repertório canónico”, afirma. Depois da edição do álbum, seguem-se agora concertos em Lisboa, Tavira, Madeira e França. Bruno Belthoise interpretou igualmente obras para piano solo de Armande de Polignac em Saint-Leu-la-Forêt, no Val-d'Oise, no passado 30 de Maio.

Andrés Amorós continúa el ciclo dedicado a las sinfonías de Gustav Mahler.
Neste episódio do podcast filosófico da Nova Acrópole do Brasil, os professores Danilo Gomes e José Roberto refletem sobre a elegância do comportamento e a necessidade de um retorno consciente à natureza. A partir de referências filosóficas como Confúcio, Platão, Ortega y Gasset e tradições antigas do Oriente e do Ocidente, o diálogo explora a relação entre ética, beleza e harmonia na vida humana. Ao longo da conversa, é apresentada a ideia de que a verdadeira elegância não está ligada apenas à aparência exterior, mas principalmente à forma como o ser humano se relaciona consigo mesmo, com os outros e com a natureza. O comportamento ético, cortês e harmonioso é visto como uma expressão de inteligência e discernimento, capaz de aproximar o indivíduo daquilo que há de mais essencial em sua natureza. Os professores também refletem sobre os desafios da sociedade contemporânea, marcada pela desconexão interior, pela perda do sentido de unidade e pelo afastamento do ritmo natural da vida. Em contraste, antigas civilizações compreendiam o ser humano como parte integrante do cosmos e cultivavam uma relação de profundo respeito com a Terra, o trabalho, os objetos e as relações humanas. A conversa destaca ainda como a amizade, a fraternidade, a cortesia e o cuidado com as pequenas coisas podem contribuir para uma sociedade mais humana, integrada e consciente. Ao reconhecer-se como parte de uma grande unidade viva, o ser humano pode reencontrar sentido, esperança e um propósito mais elevado para sua existência. Participantes: José Roberto e Danilo Gomes Trilha Sonora: Adagio da Sinfonia nº 10, de Gustav Mahler

What can an art exhibition, a concert hall and Classical town tell us about twentieth century German history? On Radio 4's weekly discussion programme, setting the cultural agenda every Monday, Samira Ahmed leads a conversation exploring what inter-war Weimar, the Nazi's obsession with so-called 'degenerate art' and the programming of German music at the Wigmore Hall in London reveal about the course of German history and our responses to it. Katja Hoyer's last book, Beyond the Wall was a history of East Germany which concentrated on the consequences the Nazi rule and the Second World War. Now the Anglo-German Historian has turned her attention to Weimar, the town that gave its name to the ambitious republic whose failure paved the way to Nazism. Looking at the stories of a series of varied individuals, she asks how a nation that prided itself on its culture and civility enabled Nazism and why it haunts us to this day because we fear a repeat. Weimar: Life on the Edge of Catastrophe is BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week for a fortnight.Art historian John-Paul Stonard's new book is The Worst Exhibition in the World: Degenerate Art, 1937. The exhibition of Entartete Kunst ('degenerate art') was held in the Hofgarten arcade in Munich in the summer of 1937. Just a few weeks earlier, the same paintings and sculptures by modern German artists had been on display in some of the most prestigious museums in Germany. An extensive propaganda campaign of confiscation and defamation by the Nazis saw the condemnation of works by Jews, Bolsheviks and the enemies of the German Reich. It remains one of the most visited exhibitions ever - and it shaped views of modern art well into the second half of the twentieth century.Julia Boyd's There is Sweet Music Here: The World of Wigmore Hall tells the story of London's privately run music venue. During the Second World War it was possible for audiences to hear exiled German and Austrian Jewish musicians playing Beethoven among a wide range of recitals. Other concerts programmed included Entartete Musik (forbidden or so-called 'degenerate Music'), including the banned composer Gustav Mahler. Producer: Ruth Watts
SynopsisAs far as anniversary gifts go, the one Dutch conductor Willem Mengelberg received in 1920 was pretty spectacular. To celebrate his 25th year as Music Director of the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, they staged a special month-long festival in honor of one of Mengelberg's favorite composers — Gustav Mahler, the Austrian composer of monumental symphonies, who had, in fact, conducted the Concertgebouw several times before his untimely death at 50 in 1911.Mahler was the conductor Mengelberg admired most, and Mengelberg and his orchestra were ardent champions of Mahler's symphonies, too: their 1920 festival performed all nine of them over the course of two weeks that May. Mahler's widow Alma was in attendance, as were his younger Austrian contemporaries Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Webern, Danish composer Carl Nielsen and a young British conductor and Mahler fan named Adrian Boult, who reported on the festival for a British newspaper back home.In 1995, the Concertgebouw staged another Mahler Festival on the 75th anniversary of the 1920 one, this time inviting the Berlin Philharmonic and the Vienna Philharmonic to participate. A hundredth-anniversary festival was planned for May 2020, but the COVID pandemic forced that Mahler cycle to be postponed until May 2025. Good things come to all who wait.Music Played in Today's ProgramGustav Mahler (1860-1911): Symphony No. 1 (Titan); Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra; Riccardo Chailly, conductor; London/Decca 448813

The story of Alexander von Zemlinsky's The Mermaid begins with a passionate love affair and ends in heartbreak of the most unabashedly big-R Romantic kind. In 1900, the young, fabulously talented, and famously beautiful Alma Schindler came to Zemlinsky's home to study composition. Wildly passionate feelings soon developed between them, and Alma wrote the following in her diary: "I would gladly be pregnant for him, gladly bear his children. His blood and mine, commingled: my beauty with his intellect. I would gladly serve him in his professional life, live for him and his kith and kin, breathe [for him], attend to his every happiness, serve him with a gentle hand. God give me the strength and the willpower to do so." The relationship lasted a little over a year, until one night when Schindler attended a party that happened to be frequented by a brilliant conductor and composer twenty years her senior: Gustav Mahler. The rest is history. Zemlinsky was devastated and poured his energies into a tone poem based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid. The source may seem surprising, but as we'll see later on, it proved to be the perfect vehicle for Zemlinsky to exorcise the tortured memories of this turbulent relationship. For a long time, however, the score was lost. It wasn't until the 1980s that the full work was reconstructed, and it has since become one of Zemlinsky's most frequently performed pieces. And it's not hard to see why. The Mermaid is a forty-minute tone poem that, from start to finish, overflows with fin-de-siècle romanticism, very much in the vein of Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night). It is a work of irresistible beauty and passion, and it is being played more and more as Zemlinsky's name begins to take its rightful place in the standard canon of composers. Today on the show, I'll tell you a bit more about Zemlinsky in case you're not familiar with him, read more of the unbearably passionate letters and diary entries from both Zemlinsky and Alma Schindler, and, of course, walk you through the heartbreakingly beautiful music of The Mermaid, showing how Zemlinsky balances narrative and abstract form, and how he created this opulent, lush, and profoundly moving score.

Es sind die Werke eines jungen Mannes am Anfang einer großen Karriere, und sie weisen uns eindrucksvoll darauf hin, was später kommen wird. BR-KLASSIK hat mit Thomas Hampson über Gustav Mahlers "Gesellen"-Lieder gesprochen:
Here's a rare sampling of Countermelody favorite, the refulgent Czech contralto Věra Soukupová, in song repertoire, accompanied by both piano and full orchestra. The featured works are two song cycles of the so-called “late Romantic era,” one by Antonín Dvořák (his 1894 Biblical Songs), and one by Gustav Mahler, his 1901 Kindertotenlieder cycle. The Dvořák recording stems from 1967 and features Czech pianist Ivan Moravec; the Mahler is from 1963 and features the great Czech conductor (and Mahler specialist) Václav Neumann leading the Czech Philharmonic. The setlist includes two additional Mahler orchestral songs with Soukupová and Neumann as well as excerpts from Soukupová's 1976 recording of two song cycles by Robert Schumann, accompanied by Czech pianist Jan Horák. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

In the 1960s, Leonard Bernstein famously helped to popularize the music of a then relatively obscure composer, Gustav Mahler. His work, as well as the work of other conductors, made Mahler into a classical-music household name. Mahler's symphonies are played every year all over the world, and he is firmly ensconced in the so-called canon of standard orchestral repertoire. Would it surprise you to know that Franck's D Minor Symphony once had the same reputation? It was played almost every year by most major orchestras, it was recorded by all the great conductors, and it was a fixture of the canon just like a Brahms symphony. Nowadays you would be lucky if, outside of France and Belgium, you hear Franck's Symphony once every five years, if that. The truth is that, other than a short golden period for this symphony, it has either been controversial (around the time it was premiered) or ignored (nowadays), which is a real shame, since it is a glorious piece that I would argue is drastically underrated in our modern world. The symphony was radically innovative for its time, which probably explains some of the more virulent criticism it received, but even though those innovations now sound completely normal to our ears, they are still at the heart of what makes this symphony so profoundly satisfying to listen to. Ahead of my performances of the symphony in Lille this December, I wanted to dive in and explore this unfairly ignored masterpiece. In about 40 minutes of music in three grand movements, Franck pours his soul into this work. That phrase sounds a bit cliché, I know, but I really mean it; there is an earnestness about this music that I find deeply moving, and it is something we will explore together today. We will talk about Franck's late entry into the world of composition, his reputation as an organist, and the challenges he faced in finding acceptance as a composer. Along the way, we will discuss this gorgeous piece in all of its passion and intensity. Join us!

SynopsisIn all, Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki completed eight symphonies, and in 2013, to celebrate his 80th birthday, there appeared a box set of recordings billed as his “complete symphonies,” all conducted by their composer. But while that “complete” set included Symphonies Nos. 1-5 and 7&8, it was missing No. 6. The reason? Although Penderecki had begun work on his sixth symphony years earlier, it remained unfinished when the set was issued.Fast forward to today's date in 2017 for the out-of-sequence premiere of Penderecki's Symphony No. 6, given in China by the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra. The venue was apt, since the symphony was subtitled Chinese Poems, and included settings for baritone and orchestra of eight ancient Chinese poems — with a Chinese instrument, the erhu, providing solo interludes.Curiously, Penderecki chose to set German translations of the Chinese poems, translations published back in 1907 in the same collection Gustav Mahler had sourced for his unnumbered song-symphony Das Lied von der Erde, the Song of the Earth. And it's probably no coincidence that Penderecki's Symphony No. 6 sounds very much like he was trying to channel both the spirit and sound world of Mahler's early 20th century song-symphony into own his 21st-century one.Music Played in Today's ProgramKrzysztof Penderecki (1933-2020): Symphony No. 6 (Chinese Poems); Stephan Genz, baritone; Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Sopot; Wojciech Rajski, conductor; Accord ACD-270
