Lorenzo Viotti
Lorenzo Viotti has devoted himself to Mahler's music with great success in recent years: his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra's Third was impressive, and his Fifth was described in the newspaper Trouw as "unforgettable." And regarding the Ninth : "The Netherlands Philharmonic was in blazing top form, audibly delighted and delighted with such a magnetic conductor." After stepping down as chief conductor of the Netherlands Philharmonic last season, he returns for a work on his bucket list: Mahler's Second Symphony .
Mahler's Symphony No. 2 'Auferstehung'
At nearly an hour and a half long and with a stunning orchestration, including ten horns, eight trumpets, quadruple woodwinds, a sea of strings, and a full choir plus two vocal soloists, Mahler's Second Symphony is a colossal work. Its themes—life, death, and subsequent resurrection—are no less ambitious. But Mahler's masterful music is more than just grand. From the smallest and most intimate to the grandiose, from the mundane to the sublime: everything is covered.
The Netherlands Philharmonic
The Netherlands Philharmonic is one of the most versatile cultural organisations in The Netherlands. The orchestra organises a diverse concert program in The Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam and is a welcome guest on foreign stages and festivals. The Netherlands Philharmonic brings classical music to life at the highest level and collaborates closely with international guest soloists and conductors. It takes great pleasure in welcoming and developing new musical talent. Lorenzo Viotti is the principal conductor of Dutch National Opera and the Netherlands Philharmonic.
