Licht- und Schattenseiten des Lebens: Gustav Mahlers verkannte Siebte unter der Leitung von Chefdirigent und Mahler-Enthusiast Alan Gilbert mit dem NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester.

Mahler-Magier

Wenn Alan Gilbert mit einer Mahler-Partitur ans Pult seines NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchesters tritt, dann sind leidenschaftliche, spannungsvolle und aussagekräftige Interpretationen garantiert! Seit ihn seine Eltern im Alter von neun Jahren in Konzerte mit allen Mahler-Sinfonien schleppten, hat den New Yorker dessen musikalische Welt nicht mehr losgelassen.

Mit fesselnden Aufführungen rund um den Globus beweist der Chefdirigent des NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchesters sein besonderes Einfühlungsvermögen in Mahlers magische Partituren stets aufs Neue. Nach der Saisoneröffnung 22/23 mit der Zweiten folgt nun auch die Siebte unter Gilberts Leitung.

(Nicht) zu pompös?!

Diese e-Moll-Sinfonie führt verglichen mit ihren Schwesterwerken eher ein Schattendasein auf den internationalen Konzertbühnen. Das könnte daran liegen, dass viele Mahler-Fans sich an dem allzu lebensbejahenden Finale stören, das aus strahlend pompösem C-Dur nicht herauskommen will. Einen solchen Freudentaumel mag man Mahler allenfalls mit gebrochenem Hintersinn zugestehen. "Es ist mein bestes Werk und vorwiegend heiteren Charakters", hatte der Komponist zwar selbst über seine Siebte gesagt.

Andererseits aber scheint die Siebte von innen nach außen komponiert, der dritte der fünf Sätze also zentral zu sein. Und dieses Scherzo trägt die vielsagende Vortragsbezeichnung "Schattenhaft". Auch die beiden "Nachtmusiken" - wie Mahler den zweiten und vierten Satz nannte - offenbaren sehr wohl jene für Mahler so typische Zerrissenheit. Es ist also nicht immer alles Gold, was glänzt.

Light and dark sides of life: Gustav Mahler's misjudged Seventh under the direction of chief conductor and Mahler enthusiast Alan Gilbert with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra.

The concert on October 30th can also be seen in the live stream on NDR.de/eo from 6 p.m. You can find the player for the stream in time for the concert here on this page, in the NDR EO app and for the first time also in theARD media library .

When Alan Gilbert takes the podium of his NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra with a Mahler score, passionate, exciting and meaningful interpretations are guaranteed! Ever since his parents dragged him to concerts with all of Mahler's symphonies at the age of nine, his musical world has never let go of the New Yorker.

With captivating performances around the world, the chief conductor of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra has repeatedly demonstrated his special ability to empathize with Mahler's magical scores. After the opening of the 22/23 season with the second, the seventh now follows under Gilbert's leadership.

(Not) too pompous?!
Compared to its sister works, this E minor symphony leads a rather shadowy existence on international concert stages. This could be due to the fact that many Mahler fans are bothered by the all too life-affirming finale, which does not want to get out of radiantly pompous C major. One might concede Mahler such a frenzy of joy at best with a broken ulterior motive. "It is my best work and mostly of a cheerful character," the composer himself said of his seventh.

On the other hand, however, the seventh seems to be composed from the inside out, that is, the third of the five movements seems to be central. And this scherzo bears the meaningful performance description "Schattenhaft". The two "Night Musics" - as Mahler called the second and fourth movements - do reveal the inner turmoil so typical of Mahler. So all that glitters is not always gold.
