The Beginning of a Quest – Documentary – Mahler Festival Online
In his First Symphony, Mahler begins his search for sounds that reflect eternity, the source of life. He starts with the tuning of the world.
The story of his First Symphony is told by Mahler scholar Morten Solvik, conductors Jaap van Zweden, Lahav Shani and Kahchun Wong, soprano Jessye Norman and granddaughter Marina Mahler.
This documentary is made possible by the Mahler Foundation and is part of Mahler Festival Online. The documentary will premiere this Friday at 8 PM. After the documentary you can enjoy Symphony No. 1, played by the Concertgebouworkest and conducted by Mariss Jansons.
