The third symphony, with its praise of nature and fairy tale world, is a work overflowing with a sense of happiness rarely found in Mahler's symphonic works.It is also a music that combines the true joy of a gigantic orchestration, including vocal music, with tenderness and familiarity. This work, conducted by the master conductor Abbado with the prestigious Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, has long been talked about as a moving masterpiece with natural emotion that caresses the ear.
