Next Sunday, 19 February at 19.30, Filarmonía de Madrid presents Mahler’s Symphony No. 3 in the symphonic hall of the Auditorio Nacional de Música de Madrid.
This work, which belongs to the ‘Essential Cycle with Regenerative Culture 22/23’, dedicates each of its movements to the world and its telluric energies, radiations emanating from the interior of the Earth that make the planet vibrate, this being a metaphor for the effect that music has on people.
The Orquesta Filarmonía, together with a choir of white voices, the contralto Rosanna Cooper, and with Pascual Osa as artistic director, will perform this work, premiered in June 1902 in Germany by the composer himself. This third symphony was written over a period of about four years. Its origin comes from his desire to exalt nature through the stages of divine creation, although these terms are not named.
