The East Tyrolean Musicbanda Franui and the Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks immerse themselves in the musical cosmos of Gustav Mahler and illuminate his seemingly kaleidoscopic oeuvre from different perspectives. While the ten musicians of Franui uncover Mahler’s folk music sources of inspiration, break down large-scale orchestral songs into a pocket version and are not afraid to translate its musical language to today’s standards, the Bavarian Radio Choir is particularly at home in Mahler’s large-scale symphonic music. A combination that perfectly reflects the richness of Mahler’s compositions!
