What is our life's purpose? Does God exist? Why do people suffer? Engaging these questions, Mahler's Third is one of the largest and most ambitious symphonies ever composed. The emotional charge of this work steadily mounts, from the chaos of creation in the first movement, to "the summit, the highest level from which the world can be surveyed" in the last. It involves the audience in the drama of emerging consciousness, as it unfolds and develops from the world of rocks, plants, and animals "through all the stages of evolution, step by step," to its ultimate flowering in humankind's capacity for love. From the volcanoes of the South Pacific to the Alpine peaks and meadows where Mahler composed, dramatic images from the natural world give shape to the Third Symphony's evolutionary saga. See less
