Mahler Symphony No. 3

Thu, Sep 19, 2024, 19:00
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Ryan Bancroft (Conductor), Beth Taylor (Alto), Female Chorus from Eric Ericson Chamber Choir, The Stockholm Boys’ Choir
With a massive orchestra, boys' choir, girls' choir, and alto solo, Mahler paints vivid pictures in his Third Symphony. He himself described it as "something like never before: a symphony that depicts creation, from the insensitive stiff, purely elementary existence to the delicate creation of the human heart, which reaches beyond itself. It goes far, far beyond natural size, and in comparison, everything human shrinks."In many ways, Gustav Mahler was a boundary-breaker with his "maximalist" symphonies. He both completed the symphonic tradition in the footsteps of Beethoven and set the course for the future. The dreamlike alto voice and the bright choirs in the fourth movement create a sense of fragility and tenderness. Here, the distinguished Scottish alto Beth Taylor participates. The symphony culminates in an emotional chorale that grows and sweeps everything along in a hymn to love.Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra's chief conductor Ryan Bancroft leads the forces. He conducted Mahler's Fifth Symphony with the orchestra in the autumn of 2023. "The Third is definitely a challenge for any orchestra and conductor, but the music is also very direct: Mahler tells a story."Read more about chief conductor Ryan Bancroft

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Norddeutsche Orchesterakademie, Frauenchor der Norddeutschen Orchesterakademie, Marta Herman (Alto), Kiril Stankow (Conductor)
Gustav Mahler’s Third Symphony is more than just music. It is an event. »For me, symphony means building a world with all the means of available technology,« said Mahler, and with his Third, he has moulded this aspiration into monumental music that breaks all boundaries. It tells a late Romantic story of creation: nature awakens from its icy torpor, flowers sway in the wind, animals dance in the forest, brass bands herald the arrival of summer, angels sing »Bim Bam«. But death lurks everywhere. At the end, in one of the most poignant finales in music history, the human soul soars to heavenly heights.
