Venezuela's flagship orchestra, conducted by the charismatic Gustavo Dudamel bring a fusion of Venezuelan alongside Mahler's folk-infused Symphony No 1. Paul Desenne named his work Guasamacabra - a twisted kind of joke, which starts with a simple melody and evolves into something more complicated, reflecting his dismay at the current events in Venezuela. Gonzalo Grau's concerto is written for the national instrument of Venezuela - a small folk guitar with four strings. It was written for tonight's soloist, the grammy award-winning latin musician Jorge Glem who is a something of a national treasure. The music traces a fictional journey as he leaves his home in Cuman谩 and travels east over 400 miles to the home of Gustavo Dudamel in the village of Barquisimeto.
Mahler too takes his listener on an epic journey in his first symphony, beginning with the quietest shimmer of ethereal sound through the earthy reality of street music and kletzmer and a child's nursery tune played by a mournful double bass. At times both terrifying and joyful, the symphony encapsulates the human condition on a vast canvas. A symphonic journey that captures the whole world through Mahler's imagination.
