Barcelonas Palau de la M?sica Catalana, world heritage site and one of the worlds most beautiful concert halls, hosted Gustavo Dudamel and the M?nchner Philharmoniker with an unforgettable performance of Mahlers Symphony No. 2 The Resurrection. The composer emphasizes life and death in all its terrible and stunning splendor in this overwhelming opus: There is nothing except the complete substance of my whole life, he remarked on his all-embracing oeuvre. Gustavo Dudamel, who said it was a privilege to conduct this work in this unique venue, and his ensemble were celebrated with more than then minutes of applause. American mezzo-soprano Tamara Mumford and Israeli soprano Chen Reiss as well as the seemingly weightless choirs of Orfe? Catal? and Cor de Cambra del Palau de la M?sica Catalana perform a mark-shattering finale with goosebumps (M?nchner Merkur). The dynamic range is enormous. But most fascinating are the moments of absolute silence, in which you can feel how the dramaturgy of the evening comes together: An audience holds its breath (S?ddeutsche Zeitung). Really an event a phantastic conjunction of stars a memorable interpretation. (El Peri?dico)
