"A leading contender in the anti-theatrical Mahler stakes, in superlative sound, too"
- Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine (August 2003)
"Pierre Boulez's Mahler cycle has been one of mixed results but the earlier Wunderhorn-inspired symphonies have generally fared better. This performance of No 3, with the Vienna Philharmonic on glorious form, is a winner with remarkably good sound (heard to spectacular effect on the SACD version). Anne Sofie von Otter adds yet another triumph to her discography and if you're curious to know how one major composer interprets another (very different) one why not start here!"
- Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine (August 2003)
"As the most picturesque of the Mahler symphonies, the Third might seem the least likely candidate for Boulez's precise overhauling….it deserves a special place in the sun."
- ***** Five Stars BBC Music Magazine (July 03)
Boulez has become an institution, recognized in- and outside of the classical world.
Pierre Boulez and Anne Sofie von Otter in Mahler's Symphonie No. 3 with the Wiener Philharmoniker. Mahler called the Third symphony "a major work, literally reflecting the whole world."
Pierre Boulez remains in command of structure and is able to expound the work with all his own clarity of thought, while still retaining its emotional content.
