Prepare to be transported to a world of enchantment as three unforgettable weeks are dedicated to the timeless compositions of Gustav Mahler, all within the illustrious Auditorium of Milan.
Step back almost 25 years to the grand inauguration of the Milan Auditorium, where Mahler's monumental Second Symphony, "Resurrection," took center stage. This symphony's creation was a journey as profound and intricate as the music itself. It intertwined with Mahler's First Symphony, symbolizing the hero's transition from celebration to burial and ultimate resurrection, a poignant reflection of the human condition. The symphony weaves through themes of heroism, the Last Judgment, and the Resurrection, immersing you in the whimsical world of Wunderhorn. Mahler's genius lay not only in the colossal ensemble, but in the redemptive words that brought his vision to life in the Finale. Inspiration struck during the funeral of Hans von Bülow in 1894 when a choir accompanied by the organ intoned the chorale "Auferstehen!" based on a text by Klopstock. This moment was Mahler's sacred revelation, and he knew he had to recreate it in the language of music.
Under the masterful direction of the conductor, you'll embark on a profound musical journey, experiencing Mahler's Second Symphony, "Resurrection," as you've never imagined before.
