自然への憧憬と愛の痛み
バーバー、コープランド、マーラー、ツェムリンスキーの作品
When Alondra de la Parra made her debut with The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen in 2016, the foundation was laid for a close friendship. Today, the charismatic Mexican conductor regularly stands at the orchestra’s podium – and always with programmes that expand our vision. »In this piece, you can smell the South,« soprano Leontyne Price once said of the lyrical rhapsody ›Knoxville: Summer of 1915‹. And Barber’s compatriot Copland was also a master at conjuring up musical mood images: before our ears, he spreads out the beauty of spring’s awakening in the Appalachian mountain ranges in the east of the US with dazzling colours and folksy rhythms. Natures voices can also be found in all their diversity in Mahler’s works. In ›Songs of a Wayfarer‹, he contrasts the idyll with the painful heartache of a wanderer – songs that draw the gaze from the American landscapes to the world of Viennese modernism.
