Programme Brochure
Synopsis
Poetry, angst, innocence, reflection and magnificence – hallmarks of the high Romantics – are on full display in this transcendent programme led by Singapore Symphony Music Director Hans Graf. Before the sublime grandeur of Brahms’s Third Symphony, Richard Strauss’s valedictory Tod und Verklärung – the final reflections of a great artist – makes a powerful prelude to Mahler’s famous orchestral song settings, featuring rising South Korean soprano Sumi Hwang.
From Des Knaben Wunderhorn:
- Wer hat dies Liedel erdacht? (“Who made up this little song?”)
- Verlorne Müh’! (“Wasted Effort”)
- Rheinlegendchen (“Little Rhine Legend”)
From Rückert Lieder
- Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen (“I am lost to the world”)
