A symphony that embraces pure love. It is not for nothing that Gustav Mahler’s Fifth is one of his most popular works. When Mahler wrote his magnum opus, he was madly in love his wife Alma. You can hear that blossoming love in all the notes. Especially in the heavenly Adagietto.

A musical love letter

The contemporary classic Let me tell you (2013) by Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen is full of ecstatic rapture as well. Seven songs sketch the stormy life of the mythical Ophelia. Experience a whirlwind of emotions as soprano and orchestra enrapture you. A formidable challenge for soprano Sarah Aristidou.
