Concert introduction

Music that touches the soul. Hardly any other symphony of the Romantic period leaves the listener as moved as Tchaikovsky's ‘Sixth’. The hr-Sinfonieorchester is led by a conductor who understands depth - and not just because she herself used to shine with her deep voice. Nathalie Stutzmann was a celebrated alto, but now conducts at the Met and in Bayreuth. She is now 100 per cent a conductor and no longer feels like a singer. Conducting, as she describes it, ‘is like having 100 voices singing inside me at once’. But there is also singing in the true sense of the word in this programme: baritone Matthias Goerne has selected six songs from ‘Des Knaben Wunderhorn’ by Gustav Mahler, which is also music of a very unique, touching depth despite its folksong-like, very simple texts that often draw on sagas and legends. Matthias Goerne knows how to render them in all their colourfulness like no other: his baritone is that of a born Mahler singer, expressive and wide-ranging, sometimes shining darkly, sometimes flashing brightly.
