Titan

Immerse yourself in a cinematic symphonic journey with **Titan**, a breathtaking concert film that pairs stunning visuals with an exhilarating program from the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Under the visionary baton of conductor Gemma New, world‑renowned violinist James Ehnes – Gramophone’s 2021 Artist of the Year – leads us through a trio of masterpieces that soar from mythic wonder to neo‑Romantic brilliance. The film opens in a dream‑like realm where a sea‑nymph is transfigured in Thomas Adès’ haunting “The Origin of the Harp,” a work that drifts between misty atmospheres and luminous imagery. From this ethereal tableau bursts the dazzling, technicolour brilliance of Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s “Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D major, Op. 35.” Ehnes’ dazzling palette of colour and articulation brings Korngold’s neo‑Romantic score, enriched by themes from the classic films *Another Dawn*, *Anthony Adverse*, and *The Prince and the Pauper*, to life in a way only a virtuoso can deliver. Finally, we transcend into the cosmic roar of Gustav Mahler’s “Symphony No. 1 – Titan.” From primordial strings that swell to a clarinet cuckoo call heralding a sumptuous dawn, to a symphony that vibrates with joy, gloom, hell, and heaven, Mahler’s debut masterpiece becomes the soundtrack of a universe’s birth, as the conductor Gemma New and the orchestra unleash its boundless energy.
