The season opener of the choir and symphony orchestra of the Bavarian Radio is Gustav Mahler's "Resurrection Symphony" on the program - with Katharina Konradi and Okka von der Damerau as vocal soloists and Daniel Harding on the podium.
Together with the BR choir and prominent soloists, the musicians in the Munich Philharmonic offer all vocal symphonic powers to make Gustav Mahler's monumental "Resurrection Symphony" an overwhelming sound experience.
British conductor Daniel Harding, who has been closely associated with the symphony orchestra for a long time, steers the united collectives through Mahler's sound cosmos. In his Second Symphony from 1895, Mahler spans a five movement arc from the celebration of the dead to the resurrection. For the first time, in the fourth movement, he incorporates the human voice into his symphonic concept - with the magical "original light" from "Des Knaben Wunderhorn". This is where the mezzo-soprano Okka von der Damerau comes on, to whom the Kyrgyz soprano Katharina Konradi joins in the grand choir finale - she stepped in for Hanna-Elisabeth Müller, who has just become a mother. Damerau is a member of the ensemble of the Bavarian, Konradi of the Hamburg State Opera.
