Interview
Christian Gerhaher in conversation with Albrecht Mayer
Simon Rattle and Christian Gerhaher
Primitive power as if from a wild, faraway past mixes with the vibrancy of the modern in Leoš Janáček’s Glagolitic Mass. An eye to the past and the future is also evident in Gustav Mahler’s Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen which combine innovative expression with a Romantic, folk-like sound. The soloist is Christian Gerhaher, and the conductor is Simon Rattle who also performs Witold Lutosławski’s Second Symphony.
