Werk: Das Lied von der Erde (Song of the Earth)

Valery Gergiev et ses Münchner Philharmoniker étaient ce week-end à la Philharmonie pour un copieux week-end Mahler : retour sur le concert du samedi, qui associait Symphonie n° 4 et Lied von der Erde (Chant de la terre).

This double bill by The Royal Ballet made for a splendid mix of musical and choreographic magic – Mendelssohn and Ashton, Mahler and MacMillan.

Scottish Ballet’s brief trip south of the border - just two performances - not only brought a company of vital athletic dancers to the capital but also chose the occasion to announce its new artistic director.
