Info zu Mahler: Symphony No. 3

Following his principle that “the symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything”, Mahler’s all-encompassing Third Symphony is his attempt to give all aspects of nature a voice. At its premiere it generated both praise and outrage from critics, some of whom were bewildered by its enormity.

“The first and third movements climax in a dash to the finishing-line that has one pinned to one's seat. The finale has an immediacy and machismo you may or may not find at odds with its elevated spiritual character.” (Gramophone)

“I've never heard the opening Pan Awakes music more marvellously vivid in all its miraculous scoring, every dynamic in place, the snarl of the trombones, the menace of the trumpets ... you won't hear more brilliant playing than the LSO's” (The Sunday Times, UK)

“intensely theatrical...The sharp dynamic contrasts are well brought out in the first movement, with all the colourful woodwind writing well highlighted and pointed...[Larsson] is very expressive and beautifully supported by the orchestra.” (The Penguin Guide)
