90, 200, 150. Three numbers marking important anniversaries have significantly shaped Filharmonie Brno’s upcoming 69th season. “The number 90 refers to the season’s most important project, Mahler’s Das klagende Lied/Song of Lamentation. We will be performing this in its original three-movement form on the day exactly ninety years since its world premiere. Its premiere took place in Brno under the direction of Mahler’s nephew, and was performed by the radio orchestra which would later become Filharmonie Brno. It is rare to hear this balladic story in its original form, because the composer later revised it, cutting out the large first movement,” explains Marie Kučerová, Director of Filharmonie Brno. The solo part will be taken on by one of the world’s most renowned sopranos, Chen Reiss. “This season, we have managed to invite several star soloists from around the world, of whom Chen Reiss is probably the greatest,” says Kučerová. She adds that the number 90 also refers to the anniversary of Alfred Schnittke’s birth, who is one of the ensemble’s emblematic composers, as he is regularly featured in every season.
