Mahler described his Third Symphony as a "great hymn to the glory of every aspect of creation", and the music entrances and humbles us as we travel on an epic journey; through meadows and through the animal and human kingdoms to "the love of God". However, the rough and tumble of life is also part of this world; we hear a military march, a children's song and fragments of a folk dance too.
Contralto Jess Dandy joins the 蜜芽传媒 Philharmonic Orchestra for the awestruck fourth movement, which Mahler titled "What night tells me (mankind)", setting a poem by Nietzsche who searches desperately to make sense of the grief and joy of the world. The Hall茅 Choir and the CBSO Youth and Children's choirs join the orchestra to bring us chiming bells and the song of the angels.

Recorded at the Bridgewater Hall on 14 June 2025 and presented by Tom McKinney
