A hymn to the natural world, Mahler’s Third Symphony is his most expansive, with a massive first movement suggesting the awakening of spring , four contrasting middle movements and a slow-building Adagio finale marked ‘Slow. Calm. Deeply felt.’ in which, in Mahler’s words, ‘Nature in its tonality may ring and resound’.

Mahler’s Third Symphony: Transcendent nature

Bachtrack, 4th April

Hitoshi Imai, Principal Horn of the NHK Symphony Orchestra, talks about discovering and playing Mahler’s longest symphony, and its theme of reverence for nature.

One word sums up Mahler’s 3rd symphony with the Philharmonia Orchestra under Lorin Maazel: clarity

Alan Yu, 8th May

It takes any orchestra plenty of confidence and daring to embark on a single-work programme. There isn’t much chance for redemption should something go amiss. Then again, the length of Mahler’s third symphony and its demands on physical and emotional stamina don’t leave the Philharmonia Orchestra and conductor Lorin Maazel much choice.
