Konzertreihe „KLASSIK mitten in Rheinhessen“

"Gustav Mahler - a restless soul in the crisis of Romanticism"

In this concert, vocal and chamber music works by Gustav Mahler will be performed in their original versions and arrangements. Members of the Bergisch Gladbach Symphony Orchestra
Soloists: Marina Russmann (soprano) and Falko Hönisch (baritone) Piano and overall direction: Roman Salyutov

Without Gustav Mahler's music, the crisis of late Romanticism, closely tied to the intellectual state of society around the turn of the century 1900, cannot be comprehensively understood. Restlessly and feverishly, the composer sought to reflect and understand aspects of human existence such as life and death, happiness and despair, justice and fate in his works.

Marina Russmann, soprano

Soprano Marina Russmann studied opera and concert singing at the music colleges in Mainz, Cologne, and Bologna. Private studies led her to Neumar Starling and Eike Wilm Schulte. Marina Russmann was supported by Villa Musica, Camerata Nuova, Erasmus, and the Wiesbaden Wagner Foundation. She has performed at leading German theaters such as the state theaters of Mainz and Wiesbaden and at the chamber opera in Rheinsberg, as well as at significant festivals like the "Nibelungen Festival" in Worms and the "Festival gegen den Strom" at the Lahn. Recitals and concert engagements (including under Frieder Bernius) have taken the singer to Hungary, South Tyrol, England, Denmark, and the USA. In May 2016, she debuted in Hawaii as “Tosca” (Puccini) alongside Keith-Ikaia Purdy. In summer 2018, she performed several concerts with him during a concert tour in Florida.
