Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 3 John Storgårds (conductor)
Jess Dandy (contralto)
Hallé Choir
CBSO Children’s Chorus
CBSO Youth Chorus
‘My music is always the voice of nature.’
A hymn to the natural world, Gustav Mahler takes on the elements in a work like no other. Writing for huge forces, Mahler was so consumed by his Third Symphony that he was convinced that it had a life of its own. Indeed, it has all the energy of an offshore wind farm – but whilst this is music of the Earth, it is also music of the soul. Here, Mahler is on a spiritual quest, one of extreme emotional highs and lows. The earthshattering climax is a paean to love.
We welcome contralto Jess Dandy and the joint choral forces of the Hallé Choir, the CBSO Children’s Chorus and CBSO Youth Chorus as John Storgårds steers us through Mahler’s unique panorama for a stunning season finale.
