It was vital for Leonard Bernstein to discuss with Thomas Hampson the original poems of Friedrich Rückert that Mahler set in his Kindertotenlieder. Bernstein and Hampson’s conversation sheds light on the intricate relationship between music and poetry, as well as the importance of understanding the context and inspiration behind a work of art.
About BERNSTEIN INSIGHT: MASTER OF MAHLER
For Leonard Bernstein, a Mahler performance was never a matter of routine. Indeed he frequently turned to Mahler on occasions of special significance, not just for him but for the world at large. Mahler’s symphonies still arouse our emotions like few others, with their unique sense of loss and radiant affirmation. This series delves into Leonard Bernstein's relationship with the composer with interviews with Bernstein himself and musicians who have worked with him.
