Tercera de Mahler

The Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra and conductor Ádám Fischer perform Gustav Mahler's Third Symphony at the Sala 1 Pau Casals in Barcelona.

This symphonic programme centres on the monumental late-Romantic repertoire of Gustav Mahler, the Austro-Hungarian composer whose orchestral catalogue marks the transition towards musical modernity at the beginning of the twentieth century. The Third Symphony, one of the most extensive scores by the composer, stands out for its monumental conception, which integrates elements of nature, the human voice and philosophy through an expanded orchestral line-up.

On stage, the Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra tackles this work under the baton of conductor Ádám Fischer, known for his detailed readings of the Central European symphonic repertoire. Live performances of this format call for attentive, unhurried listening, typical of the great classical music events in Barcelona. The evening is aimed at followers of large-scale symphonic music and admirers of Ádám Fischer's conducting who wish to hear the instrumental richness of this score in the acoustics of the hall.
