ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
The mythical Alma Mahler knew everyone of importance, and everyone knew her. She was admired and desired, but also critized for embracing life like few other women dared to. She stopped composing when she married Gustav Mahler, but no less than half of her existing song production (many more songs are lost) is performed at this concert. It is a decent to dark turn of the century moods. We also hear Gösta Nystroem’s music inspired by the sea, and Britten’s early and playful Caberet Songs.
