Andris Nelsons conducts Mahler 3

Mahler's Symphony No. 3 performed by Andris Nelsons and the Wiener Philharmoniker is “A melancholic giant, unleashed” (Der Standard).

Among the most powerful works by Gustav Mahler and one of the longest symphonies of the Romantic period, the Symphony No. 3 is performed by Andris Nelsons and the Wiener Philharmoniker as part of their Mahler cycle. The composer’s intention to create a musical reflection of the world is perfectly caught by Nelsons, who shapes the work’s immense forces into a compelling narrative, from primordial darkness to transcendent affirmation. With Violeta Urmana as soloist, the Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks and Salzburger Festspiele und Theater Kinderchor, the performance unfolds with luminous transparency and emotional depth. “A melancholic giant, unleashed” (Der Standard)
