NOSPR / Fanshil / Mahler’s happiest symphony - NOSPR
NOSPR / Fanshil / Mahler’s happiest symphony
For reasons beyond the control of the NOSPR, there has been a change in the conductor and the concert program. This evening we will hear only Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 4 in G Major, and the orchestra will be conducted by Vladimir Fanshil.
The most joyous one among Gustav Mahler’s symphonies does not, by any means, renounce either the grotesque irony that is so typical for the composer or eschatological threads. Yet again, it deals with the subject of death. This time, however, it is first represented by the grotesque Ländler played by the violin in the scherzo, later to introduce us to the realm of paradise in the finale. But is this true paradise, or rather an image, ironical in its effect, that arises from the naive folk poetry of The Boy’s Magic Horn collection, which the composer uses in his symphonies for the last time?
