Programme
Resurrection: Illuminated by Love
“The whole thing sounds as though it came to us from some other world… one is battered to the ground and then raised on angel’s wings to the highest heights.” So Mahler described his Second Symphony. Seeking to embrace the whole of human existence – life and death, doubt and faith, punishment and reward – the Resurrection Symphony begins at the graveside of a “well-loved man”, as innocence and irony give way to the cry of faith in Primeval Light. The symphony’s apocalyptic final movement stands among the greatest visions of redemption and renewal in all music. Inspired by (Fri)edrich Gottlieb Klopstock’s Die Auferstehung, which Mahler heard at Hans von Bülow’s funeral, it affirms a world beyond judgment, illuminated by love. Join Music Director Tarmo Peltokoski, the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, Chorus, and a distinguished cast of soloists for a truly transcendental experience.
The concert runs approximately 1 hour 50 minutes without an intermission.
