Vienna is music, and music is Vienna. Around 1900, the Austrian capital evolved into a vibrant creative melting pot, where composers such as Gustav Mahler and Alexander von Zemlinsky pushed the boundaries of Romantic music. Philzuid and chief conductor Duncan Ward delve into this fascinating musical world, joined by the celebrated British mezzo-soprano Dame Sarah Connolly. She brings to life Mahler’s ‘Rückert-Lieder’—songs in which poetry, longing, and personal emotion converge. The poignant ‘Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen’ serves as the tranquil heart of the cycle. The programme also features music by Alma Mahler, who was both a composer and a muse within the Viennese musical scene. As a monumental finale, Zemlinsky’s ‘Die Seejungfrau’ (The Mermaid) transports the audience into a realm of fairy tales, yearning, and lost love—a grand orchestral work inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s ‘The Little Mermaid’.
