Großer Saal

“True horror” gripped Mahler when he realised the enormous dimensions of his Third Symphony. Its size, however, corresponded to his ideal conception: it was to reflect nothing less than “the whole world”. At its conclusion is a moving hymn to love. Zubin Mehta conducts this performance of the symphony, Okka von der Damerau sings Nietzsche’s words of warning “Oh Mensch, gib Acht” in the fourth movement.

Zubin Mehta conducts Mahler’s Third Symphony: 3. Sinfonie Mahler

“Real horror” seized Gustav Mahler when he realized the enormous dimensions of his Third Symphony. The vastness of the work was consistent with his spiritual conception, however, since nothing less than “the entire world” was to be mirrored in this music, which was inspired by impressions of nature and visions of the afterlife. At the close is a hymn to love, tender and intense, one of the most moving finales ever written. The conductor is Zubin Mehta, who was introduced to this musical cosmos by Mahler’s assistant Bruno Walter.
