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’.
Unfortunately Christianne Stotijn is unable to perform in this concert due to a throat infection. The Philharmonia Orchestra is grateful to Sarah Connolly for replacing her at very short notice.
