Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich / Paavo Järvi
Is it possible to ever be done with Mahler? »It’s simply impossible,« Paavo Järvi is convinced. »Mahler has this inner world in which there really is no end. The older you get, the more depth you discover in it – and how everything is connected to one’s own self and real existence. You’re constantly coming across new dimensions and layers of meaning. Here there’s humour, there madness, sometimes impetuosity, sometimes the deepest sorrow.« Järvi has often explored this breathtaking cosmos before, thrilling audiences with his excitingly detailed interpretations. Now he is once again on a grand Mahler expedition and, together with the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, has embarked on a complete recording of all Mahler’s symphonies. In Hamburg, he shares his perspective on the Sixth, in which he discerns the realisation »that we all dwell on earth for only a short time«.PERFORMERSTonhalle-Orchester Zürich orchestraPaavo Järvi conductorPROGRAMGustav MahlerSymphony No. 6 in A minorThe concert takes place without an interval.
