Musikfest Berlin
The orchestral work "Aïs," by Iannis Xenakis, performed by the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin under Vladimir Jurowski, using texts from Homer's "Iliad" and the "Odyssey," always revolves around the moment that puts an end to all life. Even the love that resounds from Béla Bartók's First Violin Concerto remains fleeting. Gustav Mahler's Fifth Symphony is heard at the end.
