Gustav Mahler s colossal Ninth Symphony, the cuImination of the Austrian composer s achievements, in a landmark live performance from the Berliner PhiIharmonie. This concert formed part of The Mahler Project: Daniel Barenboim and Pierre Boulez, two friends and very different worId-class conductors, tackIing aIl nine compIeted symphonies of Mahler with the StaatskapeIle BerIin. Before embarking on this journey Barenboim and Boulez entered into a long period of reflection and discussion. For the accompanying documentary, director Christoph Engel compiled a rich seIection of statements, conversations and musicaI excerpts by both conductors that provides a guide to the world of MahIer s towering symphonies. |
