The Fifth is the most popular of Gustav Mahler’s symphonies—primarily because of its famous Adagietto, a musical declaration of love to Mahler’s future wife, Alma.

Iván Fischer
"The Fifth" takes the listener through contrasting emotional worlds: grief and hope, fear of life and zest for life, doubt and tenderness.
Conducting this performance is Iván Fischer, one of the most prominent Mahler conductors of our time, celebrated for his interpretations that are both transparent and deeply emotional.
The program opens with Joseph Haydn’s Sinfonia concertante: Four soloists from the Berlin Philharmonic engage in a virtuosic dialogue with the orchestra—charming and full of humor.
