Brahms ~ Zemlinsky ~ Berg ~ Mahler

Gustav Mahler remains the most pivotal figure of end-of-the-century Vienna. Straddling the worlds of the Brahms/Wagner divide and the Second Viennese School of Schoenberg, Berg, and Webern, Mahler's music embodies the nostalgia of 19th century Europe, while looking forward to the dangerous decades ahead. This program recalls the musical incubator Mahler grew up in, as well as his own work and those of his disciples.

Program: Brahms: Neue Liebeslieder Waltzes for vocal quartet & piano 4-hands, Op. 65; Zemlinsky: Songs; Berg: Piano Sonata, Op. 1; Mahler: Des Knaben Wunderhorn (selections from song cycle); Brahms: Liebeslieder Waltzes for vocal quartet & piano 4-hands, Op. 52a (selections).
