CSO Program Notes: Mäkelä Conducts Mahler 3

from CSO Audio Program Notes · host Chicago Symphony

In his Third Symphony, Mahler portrays the whole of earthly existence. Its six movements — written for a massive orchestra, two choruses and a contralto soloist — explore humanity’s relationship with nature using fanfares, marches, folk dances and bird calls. Children’s voices portray angels while the sixth movement is a pantheistic love song to all of creation. Learn more: cso.org/performances/24-25/cso-classical/makela-conducts-mahler-3
