DVD + Blu-Ray:
Andris Nelsons conducts the Wiener Philharmoniker

In this Mahler cycle concert from Salzburg Festival, Andris Nelsons conducts Mahler 4 and Berg Violin Concerto with August Hadelich as a soloist.

In this concert, the Wiener Philharmoniker, conducted by Andris Nelsons, present a “heavenly” pairing: Alban Berg’s Violin Concerto, To the Memory of an Angel, alongside Mahler’s Fourth Symphony, whose final movement sets Das himmlische Leben (Heavenly Life) to music.

With this performance, young German-American violinist August Hadelich gave his debut at the Salzburg Festival and thrilled the press: “The fabulous Augustin Hadelich filled the difficult solo part with emotion and fragility, his performance was sensitive and yet glowing.” (Die Presse). With Mahler’s Fourth, Andris Nelsons creates “a Mahler miracle of quiet tones” (Volksblatt), joined by German soprano Christiane Karg as the soloist of the finale. The concert is part of the Wiener Philharmoniker’s Mahler cycle with Nelsons.
