The force of the eternal feminine – Documentary 8 – Mahler Festival Online
Mahler immersed himself into the forces of creation, that from which we come from and return in the end. The ever-striving human being is redeemed by the all-embracing hands of the eternal mother. Soprano Jessye Norman: ‘I believe someone saved Einstein’s brain, I wish we saved Mahler’s brain so we could see what was going on in his head’.
A story told by Mahler scholars Anna Stoll Knecht and Morten Solvik, baritone Roderick Williams, 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. 8, played by the Concertgebouworkest, conducted Mariss Jansons.
