Interview
Elīna Garanča in conversation with Julia Gartemann Mahler’s Third Symphony with Elīna Garanča and Lorenzo Viotti
In his Third Symphony, Gustav Mahler gives musical form to elemental symbols of nature – including stories of flowers and animals – with which he creates a gigantic world panorama, culminating in a hymn of overwhelming beauty. In this performance we hear Lorenzo Viotti, who steps in for Yannick Nézet-Séguin, and Elīna Garanča, who not only has “beauty of voice, but also that indefinable magic called charisma” (The Telegraph).
