ADRIAN ERÖD beim Brucknerfest Linz

Before his next engagements take him to the Munich Radio Orchestra as the Emperor in Viktor Ullmann's rarely performed chamber opera Der Kaiser von Atlantis and then to Tokyo as Beckmesser in Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Austrian baritone Adrian Eröd will make a guest appearance at this year's Brucknerfest Linz as soloist in Gustav Mahler's Das klagende Lied under the baton of Markus Poschner. This symphonic cantata tells of ancient times. The work, composed to Mahler's own text, was begun in 1878 at the age of 18, directly after he had graduated from the Vienna Conservatory. For the text Mahler drew on Ludwig Bechstein's story of the same name, but above all on the fairy tale The singing bone by the Grimm brothers. The young composer, for whom it was his first large-scale opus (he himself described it as „a real problem child“), finished the work two years later.
