Symphony no. 3

Album by Gustav Mahler & Klaus Tennstedt & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Ortrun Wenkel & Southend Boys’ Choir & London Philharmonic Choir

Symphony No. 3 is the third symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1896. Musically it is a sprawling late-Romantic symphony that employs vast orchestral forces, solo and choral voices and a sequence of contrasting movements to explore nature, love and existential themes, marking a pivotal point in Mahler's middle-period development and his expansion of symphonic scale and programme.
