Mahler’s Third with Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Joyce DiDonato
Mahler’s Third Symphony is akin to a musical creation story: “All of nature”, said the composer, “is given a voice in it”, and it also contains something deeply mysterious. The piece tells of plants, animals, and humans – and of divine love as the highest form of all existence. The conductor is Yannick Nézet-Séguin, and the vocal soloist is Joyce DiDonato, one of the leading mezzo-sopranos of our time.
