Perhaps the most interesting name among Mahler interpreters to have emerged over the past few years: Kazushi Ono. BBC Music Magazine
Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 3 is a breathtaking journey through the creation of the world. The work unfolds in six movements that depict the universe and humanity. Successively, primal forces, flora, fauna, man, angels and love come into play. With a duration of almost two hours, this symphony for large orchestra, several choirs and solo alto is Mahler's most extensive work and one of the longest in the symphonic concert repertoire. Raw, vital and full of energy. It is no coincidence that Mahler wrote this symphony in his composing hut in the Austrian countryside, surrounded by the breathtaking Alps and unspoilt nature. Due to its gigantic size, this work is rarely performed. Perfectly suited to Kazushi Ono, the Brussels Philharmonic, the Vlaams Radiokoor and the Children’s Choir of Opera Ballet Vlaanderen.
