| Summary: | Could there possibly be a more appropriate symphony for the Christmas Matinee than Mahler's Fourth, which begins with sleigh bells and ends in heaven? Das himmlische Leben, a song about the naive (yet also rather morbid) heavenly visions of a child, is heard in the last movement and forms a sunny end point to an emotional journey. This concert marks the RCO debut of soprano Anna Prohaska, who has established a reputation as a soloist at such houses as the Berlin Staatsoper. Lasting only about an hour, the Fourth is one of Mahler's shortest symphonies. The orchestra is relatively small, and Mahler's orchestration is transparent and almost chamber-like. It's sure to fit Mariss Jansons and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra like a glove. |
