Celebrate Mahler with Claudio Abbado, Jonas Kaufmann and Anne Sofie von Otter

Gustav Mahler (1892) from Hofphotograph Leonhard Berlin-Bieber (1841–1931)
--------------------------------------

UPDATE (21 April) unfortunately, the listed cinemas will no longer have the live broadcast :-(((( The only alternative available for most of us in the UK is the Digital concert hall live relay. Check the links from the Berliner Philharmoniker below for details, it is not free, but the cost is minimal.

-----------------------------------

It's exactly 100 years from the day of his death on May 18th this year. And on this occasion, Claudio Abbado and the Berliner Philharmoniker are dedicating him a special concert. They present Mahler’s last symphony which remained unfinished at his death in 1911 and Das Lied von der Erde, considered by him as “probably the most personal composition I ever created”.

For the LvdE the soloists will be Anne Sofie von Otter and Jonas Kaufmann. And i think this is the first time maestro Abbado will conduct LvdE (but do correct me if i am wrong).

And you can see it too!!!!!! Here is how :

It will be live on arte according to this EUROARTS site and the ARD TV guide. I think it is also very likely to be released on DVD afterwards.

Or in London it will be shown live in cinemas at:
Picturehouse Greenwich

Picturehouse Stratford

For other cinemas around the UK, you can contact the distributor Myscreenevent or just do a google search, there are several locations in the Uk where one can already book, including the two cinema's in London mentioned.

Enjoy!!!!
