Now something of a favourite with Athenian audiences, the veteran Slovenian conductor Uroš Lajovic will this year conduct the great Austrian Romantic symphonist's Third Symphony. The Third hymns nature in both its idyllic and wilder, more dionysian, forms. As in most of Mahler's symphonies, the detailed "magnifying glass" of the composer's conception achieves a singular balance between his intricate rhetorical devices and a profound lyricism which is both simple and unaffected.
