Jukka-Pekka Saraste conducts the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Mahler’s Fourth Symphony, featuring star soprano Christiane Karg. Håkan Hardenberger is the soloist in Jörg Widmann’s trumpet concerto, Towards Paradise.

Jukka-Pekka Saraste

The orchestra is very happy to welcome Jukka-Pekka Saraste back at the helm after nearly twenty years. He will be conducting two large-scale works which both find resolution in a timeless, heavenly vision. Mahler’s lightest and airiest symphony, the Fourth, is also one of his most popular works. Indeed, it has been a part of our repertoire since 1904, when the composer himself conducted the Dutch premiere. Now Jukka-Pekka Saraste will share his interpretation of Mahler’s Fourth Symphony with us, stepping in for Andris Nelsons. In the final part, German soprano Christiane Karg transports us to heaven as seen through the eyes of a child.

Håkan Hardenberger

Before the interval, it is the trumpet virtuoso Håkan Hardenberger who takes us on a journey to paradise. Jörg Widmann's trumpet concerto Towards Paradise is a psychological quest, an erratic musical journey leading through hectic, anxious, loving and melancholic moments, until they gradually give way to breathtaking views.
