Gustav Mahler Sinfonia nº 10, Adagio
Unsurprisingly, Mozart's music conquered not just the audience but also generations of composers from all backgrounds. In a program that continues the Complete Violin Concertos, interpreted by the awarded Viennese violinist Benjamin Schmid, the tribute to the genius of Salzburg is explicit in a work by Peter Eötvös. Dialogue with Mozart is a transcription for orchestra of Da Capo, premiered by Remix Ensemble in 2014, that transforms fragments or ideas sketched by Mozart that did not result in finished compositions. Mahler was also an admirer of the celebrated composer, and as a conductor he was one of the people responsible for the inclusion of his operas in the center of the repertoire. The symphonic poem Totenfeier (Funeral Rites) was written in a very productive period but haunted by an impossible love. The premonition of death and the love triangles that shaped Mahler's moods also dominated the time when he began his 10th Symphony. The intensity of Mahler's feelings is reflected in the very intensity of the Adagio, but the final reconciliation planned for the end of the symphony was never accomplished.
