Orchestre Divertimento

in agreement with Orchestra Divertimento. For this interpretation of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 1, in its chamber orchestra version, Divertimento offers a reading that highlights transparency, clarity of lines and precision of instrumental dialogues.

The work is inspired by paintings, poems, nature, Mahler's personal history. The reduction of forces allows the work to be approached with new intimacy, revealing the subtlety of timbres and expressive intensity that characterize Mahlerian writing.

A lighting direction accompanies the performance. It underlines atmospheres, transitions and major dynamics of the symphony.

This artistic approach aims to offer the audience a renewed experience of the work, combining musical rigor, readability of textures and sensitive enhancement of Mahler's universe.

We want the audience to be immersed in Gustav Mahler's creative process, to discover under what conditions the work was conceived. In what energy, states of mind and passions Gustav Mahler let himself be crossed so that the composer conceived this 1st symphony called 'Titan'.

We share the torments of a man facing this titanic work, presented here in a very particular version for chamber orchestra.
