MAHLER ANNIVERSARY
Zemlinsky Six Maeterlinck Songs Op. 13
Mahler Symphony No. 3

Vladimir Jurowski conductor
Petra Lang mezzo soprano
London Philharmonic Choir
Trinity Boys Choir



In a tiny hut perched in the Salzburg Alps, Gustav Mahler set about creating one of the most extraordinary visions of nature in all of art. The resulting Third Symphony harnessed the expanse that surrounded him: horns bray and trombones growl in the face of nature’s primeval force; strings and winds murmur through traditional pastoral scenes only to be invaded by the blazing march of summer; human voices move from grief to hope before, as Mahler declared, ‘nature in its totality rings and resounds.’ But it will do so only after the haunting songs by Mahler’s colleague and rival, the deliciously talented Alexander Zemlinsky.
