Gustav Mahler's music poses the big questions: What remains of us? What is death anyway?

 

To mark the start of the  Sinfonieorchester Basel's 2025/26 anniversary season and the beginning of the new Basel Mahler cycle, principal conductor Markus Poschner and concert dramaturg Benjamin Herzog discuss Mahler's world of ideas and his monumental Second Symphony, the Resurrection Symphony.

 

The conversation was recorded on the Rhine – not far from Basel Cathedral, where Gustav Mahler himself conducted our orchestra at the Swiss premiere of his Symphony No. 2 in 1903.
