Mahler & Korngold with Dudamel - From Post-Romantic Vienna to Hollywood’s Golden Age.

Experience a breathtaking journey through the worlds of post-Romantic Vienna and Hollywood’s Golden Age with Mahler & Korngold with Dudamel. Gustavo Dudamel revisits his landmark 2009 debut as Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, leading a powerful performance of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 1, “Titan.” From its evocative opening, inspired by the sounds of nature, to a triumphant and unforgettable finale, Mahler’s First Symphony is a profound exploration of life, death, and the enduring power of the human spirit. Joining Dudamel and the LA Phil is the sensational violinist Vilde Frang, who delivers a sublime interpretation of Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Violin Concerto. This achingly beautiful work, brimming with themes drawn from Korngold's iconic film scores – *Another Dawn*, *Anthony Adverse*, and *The Prince and the Pauper* – is a testament to the composer’s genius. A remarkable connection binds these two masters: the young Korngold was hailed as a "musical genius" by Mahler himself, and decades later, Korngold dedicated his concerto to Mahler's widow, Alma. Prepare to be swept away by an evening of extraordinary music and captivating artistry.
