In this concert, the Wiener Philharmoniker, conducted by Andris Nelsons, present a heavenly pairing: Alban Berg's Violin Concerto, To the Memory of an Angel, alongside Mahler's Fourth Symphony, whose final movement sets Das himmlische Leben (Heavenly Life) to music. With this performance, young German-American violinist Augustin Hadelich gave his debut at the Salzburg Festival and thrilled the press: The fabulous Augustin Hadelich filled the difficult solo part with emotion and fragility, his performance was sensitive and yet glowing. (Die Presse). With Mahler's Fourth, Andris Nelsons creates a Mahler miracle of quiet tones (Volksblatt), joined by German soprano Christiane Karg as the soloist of the finale. The concert is part of the Wiener Philharmoniker's Mahler cycle with Nelsons.
