Berliner Philharmoniker: Markus Poschner and Christian Gerhaher

First, baritone Christian Gerhaher performs “Der Einsame im Herbst” from Mahler’s “Das Lied von der Erde,” and second, in a wonderful discovery of Alphons Diepenbrock, whom Mahler held in high esteem.

You will hear his orchestral song “Im großen Schweigen,” in which a person by the sea reflects on the limits of language and thought. In his “Great” Symphony in C major, Franz Schubert ignites the entire emotional spectrum of Romanticism, from exuberant joy to deep despair.

Markus Poschner makes his debut conducting the Berlin Philharmonic.
