Work: Des Knaben Wunderhorn

Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic open their “Mahler Grooves” festival, featuring Simon Keenlyside and Ekaterina Gubanova in Des Knaben Wunderhorn. 

Close to the start of this summer’s Lucerne Festival, Bernard Haitink conducted an outstanding performance of Mozart and Mahler works that span the centuries.

Paired with some overly serious Mahler, Eivind Buene's melodrama Blue Mountain did not quite convince, its ironic self-awareness getting in the way of itself.
