Verbier Festival 2024: VFO, Simon Rattle play Mahler: Symphony No. 3

As the Verbier Festival takes place in the Swiss mountain village with the same name, there is no other more fitting way to commence the 2024 edition with a nature-loving and monumental masterpiece: Mahler’s Symphony No. 3. Under the baton of Simon Rattle the Verbier Festival Orchestra, alongside magnificent mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená and two choirs for the famous vocal settings of the fourth and fifth movements, based on Nietzsche's “Also sprach Zarathustra” and the folk poems of “Des Knaben Wunderhorn”, bring this symphony back to life.
