Magnificent Mahler : An Epic Season Opener

Dive into Gustav Mahler’s rich and vibrant world, where legend, poetry, and raw emotion converge. With “Das klagende Lied”, a dazzling work composed when he was just 20, Mahler spins a dramatic tale in which passion and jealousy collide in a spectacular orchestral whirlwind. In contrast, the songs of “Des Knaben Wunderhorn” reveal a more intimate side of the composer: dreamy, playful, and deeply inspired by the magic of folk tales. Under the electrifying baton of Rafael Payare, the Orchestra symphonique de Montréal (OSM), the OSM Chorus, and legendary baritone Matthias Goerne guide us through a sonic fresco that is both grand and profoundly personal.
