As Riccardo Chailly points out, "The Fifth begins with a dark, gloomy, and tragic tone, but then is enlivened in the Scherzo and Adagietto, and eventually ends with a more positive character in the Finale perhaps for the last time in Mahler's life. The Adagietto is a revelation, a spiritual oasis. It is not an expression of pain, but rather Mahler's declaration of love to Alma a song without words." With the Gewandhaus Orchestra, Chailly gives the piece an unsurpassed intensity of sound and emotional expression. He achieves a compelling arc of tension in which the symphony's unique fascination unfolds. The Wiener Zeitung characterized Chailly's interpretation as "impressive with powerful and unreserved intensity."

Aribert Reimann's "Lear" is a milestone in the tragic opera of the 20th century. Ever since it's 1978 premiere at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, it has made it's triumphal progress around the world in more than thirty productions as the most successful Shakespeare opera of our time. The remorseless logic of the action and plot and the primal force of irresistible sonic fantasies give this work the power to hold the attention of it's listeners and viewers from the first moment to the last. The great theme of self-deception is fancifully portrayed in this captivating stage production by Karoline Gruber with a retreat into the interior of a far from frail old man. It is not senility that drives Lear, brilliantly sung by Bo Skovhus, into isolation but his hyperactive ego. The first Hamburg performance of Lear is a musical achievement of the highest order.

Udo Dirkschneider is a rock icon in every sense of the word — over four decades ago he was a founding member of Accept and the creator of legendary classics like “Balls to the Wall” and “Fast as a Shark.” Now he’s celebrating that sound with a special anniversary show that lets the original brilliance of this masterpiece shine in a new light. The “40th Anniversary of Balls to the Wall Show” is about more than nostalgia — it’s a triumph over time itself. With full energy and goosebump-inducing moments, Dirkschneider delivers the band’s anthems as powerfully as he did back then. This is where thunderous metal history meets world-class live performance. When Udo and his band hit the stage at Wacken, you don’t just hear familiar songs — you feel every heartbeat and every lyric that once made entire stadiums shake. Miss it, and you’re not just missing a concert — you’re missing the soundtrack of an era.
