Review: RICHARD WAGNER: SIEGFRIED IDYLL, WWV 103. GUSTAV MAHLER: SYMPHONY NO. 1 IN D MAJOR. at Katara Opera House

The Katara Opera House honoured two magnet-like opposite Classical Music masterminds from 19th Century; Mahler and Wagner.

The show started with the poem symphony by Wagner - Siegfried Idyll, WWV 103 - which was composed for his second wife Cosima as a birthday gift. The piece was never intended to be performed publicly yet personally I believe it would be grand loss. Wagner's love for both his child and wife has been infused every note within. Cosima wrote in her diary; "The secret treasure is to become public property. May the pleasure others take in it match the sacrifice I am making."

As romantic as it sounds, it was performed by 13 musicians from the Tonhalle Orchester Zurich on Christmas morning 1870. The symphony is simple; so simple that almost leaves the audience pale. The storm of strings comes fast and leaves with a quite wind and time passes like a flood of serenity. It leaves everyone, including the orchestra, tranquil.

Mahler's Symphony No.1 in D Major, a.k.a. once called Titan; was composed with the influence of Jean Paul's same titled book which tells the story of the education of the hero Albano de Cesara, his transformation from a passionate youth into the mature man who ascends the throne of the small principality of Pestitz.

Mahler is the statue of dedication. The first time he composed his first symphony and received destructing critics; he didn't let the ship sink and lost in darkness. He made revisions after revisions for five years. The symphony is created from four section which elaborately examines the balance between life and death.

The music was a festival created out of voices and breaths. Malko Competition 2015 winner Tung-Chieh Chuang and worldwide known Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra have accomplished an astonishing performance by reflecting the contradiction, the hesitation and the passion of Mahler's mind. Uprising, vivid colors of sounds were followed by the strong steps of a conqueror and make the audience skip a heartbeat. The performance was moving all over the house like the most beautiful snake of the world; giving the fear, excitement and amazement.

Tung-Chieh Chuang was floating with passion and leading the orchestra like a sheep between the waters of Wheel of Gaia. - The wheel in hell where is troublesome and labyrinthic. - The orchestra was taking over the work of an anchor at the wildered, absent-minded, misty colored waters of Mahler's symphony. Everything was on their places as if crafted in the hands of a Tekt?n.

The most accurate description of the journey would be; taking a walk at the Alnwick Garden on warm day with a coffin-shaped clouds.
