With prophetic enlightenment Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) states that "a time will come when the living will realize that they are represented, described and identified by my music and will understand that it is in them from always."The performance by and with Massimiliano Finazzer Flory and the participation of Quirino Principe, traces in the same spirit the composer's biography through the corpus of letters and other writings dwelling on the themes of eros, death, religion, the crisis of Vienna and the Central European world, and the relationship between music and the philosophy of the time in one of the most decisive and complex periods of the emerging modernity. The original anthology includes the reading of poems and letters by Mahler himself accompanied from by musical atmospheres and suggestions from the symphonies and lieder, on which the choreography by Gilda Gelati, prima ballerina of the Corps de Ballet of the Teatro alla Scala, will take shape.
