Symphony no. 3

Album by Gustav Mahler & Philharmonia Orchestra & Benjamin Zander

Symphony No. 3 is the third symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, composed in 1896 and premiered in 1902. The expansive late-Romantic orchestral work is characterised by dense orchestration, prominent brass and woodwind writing and the inclusion of vocal forces alongside symphonic textures, reflecting Mahler's move toward larger-scale, programme-influenced structures and marking a key development in his middle-period output.
