"... Maazel’s control and concern for clarity of texture bring the wonder of this music superbly to life. It is difficult to imagine a more atmospheric and tonally beautiful performance ... (leaves) no doubt of the greatness of this symphony and of Maazel’s interpretation."

In 2011, conductor Lorin Maazel recorded the complete cycle of Mahler’s nine symphonies live with the Philharmonia Orchestra and a star-studded ensemble of performers; the nine symphonies to be divided among three box sets. Sadly, Maazel died before the third set would be released in 2015. Now available individually, the Symphony No. 3 features Sarah Connolly (mezzo-soprano), the Tiffin Boys' Choir and the Philharmonia Voices. This symphony, Mahler's most expansive, is a hymn to the natural world, with a massive first movement suggesting the awakening of spring, four contrasting middle movements and a slow-building finale.
