Mahler’s Third Symphony is a journey from darkness to light, its six movements arranged in a progressive celebration of life, from the simplest creatures to the creator of the universe. Marshalling the forces of an augmented orchestra, mezzo-soprano, soprano and alto choir, and children’s choir, this spectacular work envelops the listener in a gorgeous, many-layered paradise of sound—a work Mahler himself declared “something the like of which the world has never yet heard!”
