Gustavo Dudamel and his Los Angeles orchestra end their London residency in the grandest of styles - with Mahler’s huge Third Symphony.
A hymn to nature, a love song on a cosmic scale – Mahler’s Third Symphony is many things. As Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic conclude their Barbican residency, there’s surely no piece more appropriate than this vast celebration of youth, optimism and eternal renewal.
This is the first time Dudamel conducts Malher's Third Symphony in London. For him, Mahler’s Third is 'like reading a book of life'; and The Guardian has compared his performances of Mahler to Leonard Bernstein’s. But Dudamel has his own story to tell with this music, and this chance to hear him tell it with one of the world’s great virtuoso orchestras is likely to be one of the high points of London’s musical year.
