Yannick Nézet-Séguin, with short blond hair, stands there in a dark velvet jacket and holds a thin stick, possibly a baton. He looks thoughtfully to the side.

Joyce DiDonato in a long, dark dress leans against a concrete wall with her eyes closed and her head tilted back, enjoying the sunlight streaming through arched openings and creating dramatic shadows on the floor.

    Info

    Mahler’s Third Symphony is a kind of musical creation story: The piece, wrote the composer, “gives all of nature a voice,” even the most secretive aspects. The work tells of plants, animals, and humans – and of divine love as the highest form of all being. Sounds from nature, echoing calls, military and funeral marches lead up to an overwhelming final hymn. The performance is conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Chief Conductor of the New York Metropolitan Opera and the Philadelphia Orchestra. The vocal soloist is Joyce DiDonato, one of the best-loved mezzo-sopranos of our time.
