Win TICKETS
TO SEE THE
Prague
Symphony
Orchestra
As the last great Romantic
symphonist, Mahler’s music is
conceived on the grandest scale.
Determined to express his view of
the human condition, he claimed
his 'symphonies represent the
contents of my entire life.' Regarded
by some as one of the ten greatest
symphonies of all time, Mahler’s
epic Third Symphony is a sublime
hymn to the natural world, its
ambitious scale, launched by a
barnstorming opening movement,
unfolds with an accumulating
emotional energy and culminates
in a heaven-storming apotheosis. It
was voted one of the ten greatest
symphonies of all time in a survey
of conductors carried out by the
BBC Music Magazine.
Mahler's Third Symphony comes to
Cardiff on 8th November, courtesy
of The Prague Symphony Orchestra,
the official orchestra of the capital
city Prague. The orchestra is a
leading Czech musical ensemble
with an established and renowned
international reputation. It was
founded in 1934.
This concert includes
performances from mezzo-soprano
Ester Pavlů, the Cardiff Metropolitan
Cathedral Choir, Cardiff Bach
Choir, Swansea Bach Choir and is
conducted by Pietari Inkinen.
