O God - will the audience change their face expression after this chaos, after these sounds from prehistoric times, the sounds of a stormy sea that thunders and rumbles? Those were the agonising thoughts of Gustav Mahler in 1904, before the beginning of the world opening night of his fifth symphony. He wanted that his opus be presented 50 years after his death. As it seems, it was an amazingly correct evaluation. In the 1960s, a Mahler boom was launched which has been uninterrupted until today, and which had surpassed all the fame that the composer experienced during his lifetime. The entire world is marking the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Gustav Mahler’s death. How to come closer to the renowned conductor and composer if not through his music; through sounds from prehistoric times which demand complete attention and the intensive power of intimacy? The Song of the Earth is a symphonic cycle of songs and an apotheosis of the entire opus of the last Viennese symphonicist.
