about the programme
Brahms’s misgivings toward the symphonic genre are the stuff of legend: he was 43 before he appeared before the public with his début symphony. It is to these misgivings that posterity owes his two Serenades, opp. 11 and 16, with which he inched his way toward the royal genre in his mid-20s. The Serenade in D major shows how ambitiously he experimented with these forms, both in its strikingly long duration (45 minutes!) and in the contrasts between its six movements. Before then, baritone Christian Gerhaher will sing Mahler’s Kindertotenlieder, on poems by Friedrich Rückert. Here the expression of private mourning is magnified into a spiritual confrontation with death, a theme of universal import. At the head of the orchestra will be the British conductor Robin Ticciati, the highly successful principal conductor of the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin since 2017, and always a welcome guest at the BRSO.
