Concert programme
The evening will commence with the refined universe of Impressionism, featuring the renowned Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune by Claude Debussy (11'), a revolutionary piece that awakens the senses with its mystical atmosphere and iconic flute solo. The highlight of the concert will be the JOSM's ambitious performance of Gustav Mahler's colossal Symphony No. 1 in D major “Titan” (58'). This absolute masterpiece overflows with energy, contrasts of nature, ironic marches, and a heroic orchestral display designed to captivate the audience from start to finish:
- I. Mov. – Langsam. Schleppend
- II. Mov. – Kräftig bewegt
- III. Mov. – Feierlich und gemessen, ohne zu schleppen
- IV. Mov. – Stürmisch bewegt
