Andris Nelsons continues his Mahler cycle with the Wiener Philharmoniker with this concert from the Salzburg Festival, featuring the composer's last completed symphonic movement: the intensely emotional Adagio from the unfinished Tenth Symphony. Another Tenth Symphony completes the programme, marking the 50th anniversary of Dmitri Shostakovich's death. The composer’s first major work to be premiered after Stalin's death, the Tenth was immediately hailed as a masterpiece – and picked through for hidden meanings and messages about the brutal regime that had just come to a close. To this day it retains that astonishing power – and provides a fascinating coupling to Mahler's work in this unmissable concert.

This concert, broadcast live from the Salzburg Festival, marks another installment in Andris Nelsons' Mahler cycle with the Vienna Philharmonic. The program includes the final completed symphonic movement by the composer: the expressive Adagio from his unfinished Tenth Symphony.
Also featured in the same concert is the Tenth Symphony by Shostakovich, whose 50th anniversary of death will be commemorated in 2025. Premiered as the composer's first major work after Stalin's death, it has long been seen as a veiled reckoning with the brutal dictator's regime.
The pairing of these two works promises a fascinating concert experience that should not be missed.
