Description

..Have you ever been so moved by a book that the words echo within you long after you’ve closed it? That's probably how Gustav Mahler felt when he discovered the works of Friedrich Rückert, the «favourite poet» of 19th-century composers. So he decided to make the pleasure last and set five of them to music! A few decades earlier, Carl Maria von Weber was just as inspired by a fairytale-like story: Oberon, King of the Elves. As for Jean Sibelius, nothing could ever match in his eyes the poetry of his native Finland, to which he devoted his entire life as a composer… Come to the Philharmonie on 22.05. to meet these three sensitive and literary souls!
