HK Philharmonic: Mahler's Mighty Third

Gustav Mahler never did anything half-way. And his mighty Third Symphony is proof of that. In this grand masterpiece he reveals the secrets of the universe as he heard them, naming the movements imaginatively, like “What the Flowers in the Meadow Tell Me,” What the Animals in the Forest Tell Me,” “What Man Tells Me,” “What the Angels Tell Me,” and the transcendent “What Love Tells Me.” Maestro Jaap van Zweden gathers the vast forces of the Orchestra, the Hong Kong Philharmonic Chorus, the Hong Kong Children’s Choir, and the gorgeous voice of mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor in this second installment of Mahler concerts this season.
