Auf der Erde: Alma und Gustav Mahler beim Spaziergang durch die Wiesen über Toblach im dunklen Sommer 1909 – Mann und Frau spazieren über Hügel

In this programme the Staatskapelle Berlin under Susanna Mälkki present music that is conscious of death while attempting to grasp the value of life. Gustav Mahler’s  Das Lied von der Erde was written immediately after the death of his daughter. Hush is the final work of composer Kaija Saariaho, that could only be premiered after her death in 2023 – yet movingly resonates with life.
