Alma and Gustav Mahler from Copenhagen
Catriona Morison joins the Danish National Symphony Orchestra to sing seven songs by Alma Mahler, and the orchestra plays Gustav Mahler's Symphony No 5 with its famous Adagietto.
Catriona Morison joins the Danish National Symphony Orchestra to sing songs by Alma Mahler before the orchestra plays Gustav Mahler's Fifth Symphony.
Mahler composed his Fifth Symphony in the summer of 1901, soon after meeting Alma Schindler, the beautiful daughter of a famous painter. Indeed the conductor Willem Mengelberg, an early Mahler champion, maintained that the symphony's famous Adagietto, 鈥�...was Gustav Mahler鈥檚 declaration of love to Alma! Instead of a letter, he confided his love for Alma in this movement, without a word of explanation. She understood and replied: "He should come." In this concert, the symphony is paired with seven of Alma Mahler-Schindler's atmospheric songs sung by the Scots-born mezzo and former Cardiff of the World and Radio 3 New Generation Artist, Catriona Morison.
Presented by Ian Skelly.
