The trumpet fanfares in the first movement of Mahler's seventh symphony are less reminiscent of Vienna around 1900 than of American science fiction. Film composers later sent out their star cruisers to similar sounds. The comparison is true insofar as Mahler always combined high art with the popular. He justified such mixtures by referring to an all-encompassing “world” that each of his symphonies contained. And so in the seventh symphony there are also herd bells, guitar and mandolin. In Baden-Baden, the name Gustav Mahler is primarily associated with Michael Gielen and Pierre Boulez. Both have repeatedly performed his symphonies with the SWR orchestras - a tradition in which François-Xavier Roth now joins.
