A new series of Concerto Budapest brings together works by Gustav Mahler and Franz Schubert on three separate occasions. Of the music the latter wrote for Georg Ernst von Hofmann's melodrama The Magic Harp in the summer of 1820, the overture in C major - which gave birth three years later to what we know as the Rosamunde Overture - proved to be the most popular section. The première of Mahler's final completed symphony took place only in 1912, more than a year after the composer's death. The four-movement work begins with a slow movement (Andante), followed by a dance movement and Rondo-Burlesque, before closing with another slow movement (Adagio).
