Copenhagen Phil's Japanese chief conductor Toshiyuki Kamioka takes us on an original time journey through three centuries - and the breathtaking repertoire requires such a colossal orchestra that talented students from Det Kgl. The Danish Conservatory of Music is invited on stage. At the top of the menu is nothing less than Mahler's first symphony. A unique masterpiece, based on the beginning of life and the awakening of nature after winter sleep. From here a whole life unfolds with human love, sorrow, impotence and final triumph. With death symbolized by an iconic bass solo and the banal Mester Jakob melody played in minor.
