‘A symphony should be like the world,’ Mahler said, ‘it should embrace everything.’ Nowhere does this vision come more powerfully to life than in his mighty Symphony No. 3, an intricate, joyful tapestry of man, nature, heaven. The work opens in heavy summer heat and closes in rapt tranquillity in a sublime finale, animated in between by marches, dances and birdsong. Ryan Bancroft brings together the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales and the Orchestre National de Bretagne, joined by the CBSO Children’s Chorus and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Chorus of Wales and mezzo-soprano Beth Taylor.
