Competitor (Entrant) 13 Production

Co-producer none

Competitor’s country France

Director Pierre henry Salfaty

Camera Sebastien Saadoun

Duration 52

Documentary programmes dedicated to music and dance


Synopsis
"With measured steps" is the tempo indication Mahler gives to the first movement of his 5th Symphony, a monumental funeral march. The symphonic hero is being buried. Yet, this time, the symphonic narrator – does not rebel in the least against destiny or tragedy but ineluctable reality. He faces it with noble and dignified resignation; adopting a tone which is impersonal yet emotional, leading up to the violence of the first intermezzo and the elegiac sweetness of the second. The trumpet fanfare, which defines the movement's character from the outset, must be viewed as a remote memory of the past, the time when the child Mahler listened to the trumpets of the Iglau barracks from afar, and watched military marching bands parade past his parents' home.
