Mahler's Third, finale

Jan 29, 2012 20:52

“In the last movement, words are stilled-for what language can utter heavenly love more powerfully and forcefully than music itself? The Adagio, with its broad, solemn melodic line, is, as a whole-and despite passages of burning pain-eloquent of comfort and grace. It is a single sound of heartfelt and exalted feelings, in which the whole giant structure finds its culmination." --Bruno Walter
