direct from the Royal Festival kail. London
ANNA REYNOLDS (mezzo-soprano) SOUTHEND BOYS' CHOIR director MICHAEL CRABB LONDON SYMPHONY CHORUS chorus-master ARTHUR OLDHAM LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA leader JOHN BROWN conducted by CLAUDIO ABBADO
' 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 )
