Mahler: Résurrection - Festival d’Aix-en-Provence

2022

Overview

A meditation on the passing of all things and an affirmation of faith in creative power, Symphony No. 2 in C minor, "Resurrection," remains undoubtedly the most popular of Gustav Mahler's symphonies. The iconoclastic Romeo Castellucci (whose version of Mozart's Requiem in Aix-en-Provence in 2019 caused quite a stir) joins forces with Finnish conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen for a radical reinterpretation of this existential fresco.
