This concert begins with Mahler’s Mitternachtslied, the fourth movement from his Third Symphony, leading the audience immediately into a dream-like world. When Mahler was diagnosed with congenital heart disease, the fear of death enshrouded him, casting a shadow through the rest of his life. Even his musical compositions became obsessed with death. When he knew that he could not escape fate, Mahler turned to Chinese philosophy in search for an explanation of death among Tang dynasty poetry, and the result was the masterpiece Das Lied von der Erde. In the final movement, Der Abschied, Mahler repeated the word “ewig” nine times, as if expressing the sentiment that although life is short, nature and the earth regenerate day by day, the sun, moon and stars continue to shine. In that sense, Mahler’s understanding of death has far exceeded death per se.
Of the three contemporary works that share this program, each is inspired by nature around the world, from Iceland to China to central Europe. With Mitternachtslied as the frame, and Der Abschied to end, this program features two soloist: baritone Wang Yunpeng and sheng soloist Wu Wei.
There is a special film that serves as a prelude to the program. This documentary utilizes Das Lied von der Erde to discover the connections between Mahler and nature.

English

这场音乐会从马勒第三交响曲的第四乐章“午夜之歌”开始，听众从一开始就将跟随音乐进入梦境与幻想的世界里。当马勒被诊断患有致命的先天性心脏病之后，对死亡的恐惧就开始无时无刻不围绕在他的周围，他也在创作音乐时更多地思考死亡这个终极命题。《大地之歌》就是在这种心境下产生的一部作品：当知道命运已经不可避免时，他将目光投向了中国哲学，从中国的唐诗里寻找对死亡的理解。特别是在最后一个乐章《告别》里，马勒连续用了九次“永恒”这个单词，仿佛是在表达生命虽然短暂，但大地承载下的世间万物依然美丽，星辰与时间的流转永不停歇，马勒对死亡的思考此时已经超越了死亡本身。
我们将在节目中领略三首令人惊叹的作品，从冰岛到中国再到欧洲大陆，是世界各地的大自然赋予了这些作品灵感。音乐会以马勒引人入胜的《午夜之歌》为框架，以他的《大地之歌》终曲“告别”结尾。本节目的演出嘉宾分别是男中音歌唱家王云鹏和笙演奏家吴巍。
本场演出将有一部特殊的纪录片电影作为序幕， 在演出前展映， 这部纪录片从马勒伟大的交响曲《大地之歌》的视角，深入探索了马勒与自然的关系。
