The Konzerthausorchester Berlin brings to life the symphonic soundscape of Gustav Mahler: “The Sixth is his most personal and also most prophetic work”, wrote Alma, the composer’s wife.


Mahler himself mentioned that the music of his 6th Symphony contained an enigma for his audiences. This is music combining intense emotions, irony and echoes of folk music fused into an explosive frenzy which at times appears to gain an intermittent enhanced clarity.

In “Eindrücke” by Luciano Berio, the musical worlds of marches and melodies hover within space like distant memories with a dreamlike quality. Berio would have been celebrating his 100th birthday this year; in this orchestral work dating from 1973, he reflects on two previously composed works which significantly also have German titles: “Bewegung” and Still”.
