David Geffen Hall
Los Angeles Philharmonic

Gustavo Dudamel - Conductor
Tamara Mumford - Mezzo-Soprano

Mahler - Symphony No. 3 in D minor



The orchestra, the soloist, and Dudamel were all wonderful.  I expected Dudamel to be fiery and feisty but he stayed completely within the music.  I was impressed.  The Mahler was long and wonderful.

“Mr. Dudamel is a classical-music rock star…It is hard to ask for more.”

—New York Times

“Her plangent, beautifully produced genuine mezzo tone proves very moving.”

—Opera News on Tamara Mumford

Gustav Mahler said, “A symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything.” No work better encompasses Mahler’s cosmology than his Third Symphony, which incorporates influences from Nietzsche to Des Knaben Wunderhorn.

“Revelatory” (New York Times) mezzo-soprano Tamara Mumford joins the Los Angeles Philharmonic for this comprehensive masterpiece.

On the way home we went by St. Patrick's Cathedral.
