[Saving of Faust and …] – A direct link to the final minutes in the province of Barcelona. Faust has climbed up to a mountain and reached the monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat, where he is saved in a miraculous way that cannot be understood or explained. I somehow get the impression that at least the celesta and a small flute participate in the operation. Thereafter, all that remains to be said is: “… das Ewig-Weibliche zieht uns hinan” – women are the real bosses.
M9 – [RSO – Herbert Blomstedt 2024] ; [RSO – Susanna Mälkki 2023] ; [RSO – Hannu Lintu 2019]
– – – Introduction: –
M9 ends in a sensitive way towards silence, also at the fingertips of Herbert Blomstedt (97 years): [M9 final 2 min including 20 s. of silence].
The Lucerne Festival Orchestra was evolved from EU and Mahler youth orchestras, both founded by Claudio Abbado, who led the 2009 Festival into two minutes of complete silence: [M9 last 5 min in Luzern 2009].
