2007.6.28. Mahler's Third Symphony
    Gerard Schwarz, conductor
    Ewa PodleÅ›, contralto
    Northwest Boychoir
    Women of the Seattle Symphony Chorale
My favorite is the adagio of the last movement (stolen from Beethoven?). Sublime. Podles' voice is rich, the boys' are sweet. The stage got very crowded when the voice started, and half of the choir had to stand in the first tier boxes.
