Iván Fischer about Mahler’s Third Symphony
Iván Fischer conducts Mahler’s Symphony No. 3
Mahler’s Third Symphony is a gigantic work in every respect. Firstly, in terms of length (just the opening movement is longer than Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony). Most notably, however, Mahler creates here a cosmos of the most diverse expressive worlds. Iván Fischer leads us into this cosmos in this concert with mezzo-soprano Anna Larsson; his recording of all the Mahler symphonies has been showered with prizes.
