Presented by Boston Philharmonic Orchestra at Symphony Hall

Mahler                                     

Symphony No. 3

Boston Philharmonic Orchestra

Benjamin Zander, conductor

Susan Platts, mezzo-soprano

Chorus Pro Musica

After nearly 20 years, it is time once again for the BPO to perform Mahler’s exalted paean to nature, the Third Symphony. It is the longest and most all-embracing of his works. In it, he set out to express the essence of his relationship to nature. Visiting Mahler as he was composing the Third Symphony at his summer retreat, his young apprentice Bruno Walter took a moment to reflect on the astonishing mountain view. “You needn’t stand staring at that,” Mahler said, “I’ve already composed it all!” In this vast and profound work for chorus, orchestra, and mezzo-soprano, you will hear it all—from exaltation to terror to union with the primal forces that surround us. Renowned mezzo-soprano Susan Platts returns to sing the poignant setting of Nietzsche’s Midnight Song.

-Benjamin Zander, conductor
