Performer: Leipzig Gewandhaus Children's Choir

Not everything worked in Gilbert's Beethoven Nine, but the stunning finale redeemed all.

Gilbert and the Gewandhaus gave us a Mahler 3 that was truly the representation of all of creation that the composer strove for. It's a symphony to keep coming back for.

The Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra under Alan Gilbert deliver a satisfying account of Mahler's titanic Third Symphony in the Berlin Festival, with a memorable solo from alto Gerhild Romberger.
