The Third, the longest of Mahler’s symphonies, is an ode to nature, but a nature from which many torrents emerge. “There’s no need to look at the landscape, all of it is in my symphony”. It is with these words that the composer greets the conductor Bruno Walter come to visit him in Steinbach-am-Attersee in 1896.
To close the 2016 edition of the Verbier Festival, two regional choirs and Nathalie Stutzmann, one of the most remarkable musical personalities of our time join the Verbier Festival Orchestra to perform this splendid ode to life.
