Mahler’s relationship with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra began in 1892 with a concert of songs from Des Knaben Wunderhorn and continues to this day.

Under the title Seine Zeit ist gekommen (His time has come) the orchestra is now presenting an exhibition with information about the life and work of Gustav Mahler. Of special interest are the various “stations” of the Mahler tradition of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

Seine Zeit ist gekommen – from 5 December 2010 until 31 January 2011 in the Foyer of the Philharmonie Berlin.

Full transcripts of our Mahler interviews with Mariss Jansons and David Zinman are now online.
