Thesis (Ph.D.)--Columbia University, 2009.

This study addresses the presumable distinct, auratic quality that performances of symphonies by Gustav Mahler in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw seem to have, a phenomenon also referred to as the Concertgebouw's Mahler tradition. Are these performances indeed in high demand and experienced more intensely than other performances in the Concertgebouw, and, if so, why? And what kinds of audiences attend these events and for what reasons?

520 $a This study addresses the presumable distinct, auratic quality that performances of symphonies by Gustav Mahler in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw seem to have, a phenomenon also referred to as the Concertgebouw's Mahler tradition. Are these performances indeed in high demand and experienced more intensely than other performances in the Concertgebouw, and, if so, why? And what kinds of audiences attend these events and for what reasons?
520 $a The author approaches the typical Mahler performance as a ritual in which a wide range of contextual factors is at play and in which different values can be enacted by the participants. The typical Mahler performance is studied from four perspectives: (1) the history of the person of Mahler in the Concertgebouw and the tradition that was built around the composer and performances of his works, particularly by the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra; (2) the role of Mahler in the present-day programming of the hall, audience types attending these performances, and the space of the Main Hall; (3) verbal and non-verbal audience responses to performances of symphonies by both Mahler and Bruckner, presented on the basis of online questionnaires and video footage of audience members listening to the symphonies; (4) the event of the Mahler performance as analyzed using concepts from the field of ritual theory.
520 $a The conclusion of the study is that performances of Mahler's symphonies are highly effective in the Concertgebouw due to the historical, symbolic, and spatial contexts in which they take place. Mahler plays an important role in the history of the Concertgebouw and is acknowledged as such by numerous signs inside the hall. The acoustics of the Main Hall are considered the most favorable in the world for late romantic music, and the hall is visually well suited for ritual experiences. Patrons are relatively familiar with Mahler's repertoire and they like performances of his symphonies significantly better than those of Bruckner symphonies in many respects. Moreover, analysis of the video footage demonstrates stronger musical involvement in Mahler symphonies than in Bruckner symphonies. However, audience participation in the ritual experience tends to decrease at more expensive concerts, as generally these concerts are attended by relatively many patrons for mainly social purposes. This importance of social activities in the performance space appears to hinder the experience of a ritual communitas.
