A whole week breathing MAHLER 8. For me, it meant a whole week living inside this piece - with 400 people - sharing one breath, one focus. 🎶 Mahler doesn’t talk in this symphony about winning or overpowering. He talks about redemption, being drawn upward, through LOVE. “Das Ewig-Weibliche zieht uns hinan.” Less ego. More listening. 😊

Shostakovich 8th symphony, one of the war-symphonies - it just grabs you and won’t let you go. Dark, haunting, powerful, and somehow, painfully relevant to today’s world. Together with Joey Roukens “Night flight” and Bloch’s Schelomo, played by Gary Hoffman, it was a very intense ride in a packed AMARE in Den Haag.

I write this on sunday morning, still deeply in “reflection blues”, after a very moving week with the most sensible music - and the most sensible musicians of the incredible Residentie Orkest. A completely sold out hall, joining us in spellbinding, deafening silences and almost unmanageable energy.
