Christmas concert with Mahler's Third Symphony by Mahler, sam. 17 déc. 2022, Du (2022/2022), Chef d'orchestre Claus Peter Flor

Mahler - Symphony no. 3 Mahler in Musis Musis, one of the Netherlands' oldest music temples, located in the heart of Arnhem, is celebrating its 175th anniversary this year in the recently completely renovated and renovated concert hall. Musis and Mahler is a combination that goes way back. Because this is where a predecessor of Phion, the Arnhemse Orkest Vereniging conducted by Martin Heuckeroth, played Mahler in 1903 as the first orchestra in the Netherlands, with his Third Symphony . It is for this reason that Phion, in the year that Musis has existed for 175 years, has opted for the same Third Symphony to continue the tradition of Mahler Christmas concerts. The imposing Third Mahler's Third is not just a symphony. At one hundred minutes long, it is perhaps the longest symphony ever written. A symphony that tells a wonderful story in six movements according to the partial titles that Mahler originally gave it. This is how we hear the flowers in the field, the animals in the forest, the people on earth and the angels in heaven. But the best part is the end with the story of love. For all this Mahler asks for an alto solo, a choir of women and children and a large orchestra. With his more than forty years of experience, Claus Peter Flor is the ideal conductor for this imposing symphony.
