Joana Mallwitz
Deutsche Grammophon is delighted to release Joana Mallwitz' first album for the yellow label – The Kurt Weill Album.
Mallwitz, the first woman ever to head a Berlin orchestra, combines Kurt Weill’s two symphonies, which the conductor calls “fantastic, exciting music firmly rooted in Berlin”. Also she has recorded Weill’s and Bertolt Brecht’s mordantly satirical Seven Deadly Sins, with singer-actress Katharine Mehrling and the Konzerthausorchester Berlin.
Joana Mallwitz launched her first season at the Konzerthaus Berlin on 1 September 2024 with the first symphonies of Prokofiev, Weill and Mahler.
The full concert is available on STAGE+
