MAHLER 9 with RESIDENTIEORKEST

“MAHLER NINE is a Requiem - for a culture that can go no further. This symphony no longer wants to triumph loudly in “end-good mode”. That game has been played too many times - and it is 1910, the world is on the edge.” @basvanputten, de Groene, 2020. So Up-to-date.

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.

Gustav Mahler hit us, deep - and right in our souls.

Deeply grateful.
