Symphony No. 3

Album by Gustav Mahler

Symphony No. 3 is the third symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1896. The six-movement work is vast in scale and forces, employing an expanded orchestra including vocal elements, rich late-Romantic harmonies and varied orchestral colour that progress from nature-inspired material to more transcendent textures, illustrating Mahler's extension of the symphonic form in his mature output.
