| Beside his nine completed symphonies and Das Lied von der Erde, Gustav Mahler wrote three ‘freestanding’ symphonic movements: i) Blumine (‘Flower Piece’) – originally the second movement of an orchestral work that became the Symphony No 1; ii) Totenfeier (‘Funeral rites’), the original first movement of the Symphony No 2, described by the composer as the burial of the (probably autobiographical) hero of the preceding symphony, and iii) the Adagio planned as the first movement of his Symphony No 10. Mahler died in 1911, leaving only this and the short third movement in something approaching a performable state; the symphony was finally completed in 1960 by Deryck Cooke. What The Wild Flowers Tell Me is Benjamin’s Britten’s arrangement, made in 1941, of the second movement of the Symphony No 3; his version preserves the essence of Mahler’s original, but in a practical version for reduced orchestra. At the time, Mahler’s symphonies were not a staple of the repertoire, and Britten – who felt a special affinity with the Austrian composer – was hoping to bring his work to a wider audience. Indeed, in 1967 Britten conducted the first modern performance of Blumine as an independent movement. The validity of the approach that Paavo Järvi and the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra take to Mahler was clearly proven at concerts in 2008. Paavo Järvi has made recordings of music by Nordic and Estonian composers for Virgin Classics and he conducts his Frankfurt orchestra in a forthcoming release of Brahms’ Piano Concerto No 2 with Nicholas Angelich. | |||||
