Latvian National Symphony Orchestra
Ludwig Mittelhammer, baritone
Conductor: Andris Poga
PROGRAMME
- Johannes Brahms / Detlev Glanert – Four Preludes and Serious Songs
- Gustav Mahler – Symphony No. 9
In 2005, German composer Detlev Glanert orchestrated Johannes Brahms’ “Four Serious Songs”, weaving them into a seamless score. Each song is introduced by a prelude, culminating in an orchestral postlude that enriches the work with dark yet expressive harmonies and rich orchestration.
Mahler’s Ninth Symphony, his final completed work, is a profound contemplation on life and death—a farewell to existence.
Concert in two parts with an intermission
