Mariss Jansons & Gerhild Romberger Perform Sommer, Mahler & Rachmaninoff

The Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks under the baton of its musical director Mariss Jansons gives its debut at the Philharmonie de Paris: With Vladimir Sommer's Antigone, Gustav Mahler's Kindertotenlieder and Sergei Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances, the evening's programme revolves around the subjects of death, transcendence and the afterlife. Renowned alto and Mahler expert Gerhild Romberger makes Mahler's ballads a “special and flawless experience” (Wiener Zeitung). The praised Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks shines "bright under their chief conductor Mariss Jansons. Impressive.” (Kurier)
