The Austrian composer and conductor Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) brought the traditional genre of the symphony into the 20th century. Today his works form the standard repertoire of every major orchestra.

"My symphony will be something that the world has not yet heard! All of nature will have a voice in it..." In the conception of his Third Symphony, Mahler was inspired by the idea of ​​a "graded series of beings" (plant kingdom, animal kingdom, human kingdom and realm of angels). He assumed a world order whose highest level is love. He didn't understand "love" to mean earthly love, but eternal love. The motto "What love tells me", which he put in front of the 6th movement, gives his work a religious and moral accent. "It's almost no longer music, it's almost just natural sounds," Mahler said of his work. In fact, he used every imaginable means of expression in the 3rd symphony: the inclusion of voices in the 4th and 5th
This recording was made in 1972 in the Musikvereinssaal in Vienna.
Leonard Bernstein was the first conductor to record all of Gustav Mahler's symphonies not only on disc but also on video. The Mahler cycle, realized between 1971 and 1985 for the most part with the Vienna Philharmonic, was the first project in Leonard Bernstein's twenty-year collaboration with Unitel. Bernstein's recordings of all Mahler symphonies are not only a unique musical document, but they also contributed to a new understanding of Mahler's work.
"All Mahler symphonies, all Mahler works by the way, are full of extremes. Extremes in dynamics, in tempo, in emotional meaning. If the music is bare, then it is very bare; if it is dense and powerful, it is denser and more powerful than the Götterdämmerung as a whole; when it suffers, it suffers as has never been suffered in music." (Leonard Bernstein)
