' It may be doubted whether a symphony can embrace the whole of creation, but Mahler's Third comes near to realising this ambitious conception. This is why it lasts more than 90 minutes and is a concert in itself. It is Mahler's most comprehensive work, since it stemmed from all his three main sources of inspiration - Nature, Man and God.'
(DERYCK COOKE )
