 +===== Symphonic Trilogy =====
 +
 +Gustav Mahler's composition career can be split into three "creative" phases, each of which resulted in a "symphonic trilogy".[([[https://www.scribd.com/document/410598691/Gustav-Mahler|Scribd]])]
 +
 +===== First Creative Period =====
 +
 +His three symphonies were very different during his first creative era. Symphony No. 1 in D Major (1888) consisted of four movements, with the fifth being omitted, and is commonly regarded as an autobiography of his life. The upbeat opening is followed by "The Funeral March in the Manner of Callot," and the piece concludes with a beautiful conclusion.[([[https://www.britannica.com/biography/Gustav-Mahler|Britannica]])]
 +
 +===== Second Creative Period =====
 +
 +Resurrection is the common title for Mahler's Symphony No. 2 (1894). It begins with death and culminates in a celebration of immortality.[([[https://www.britannica.com/biography/Gustav-Mahler/Musical-works-middle-period#ref270272|Britannica]])]
 +
 +===== Third Creative Period =====
 +
 +In six movements, Symphony No. 3 in D Major (1896) portrays a "Dionysian picture of a grand chain of existence".[([[https://www.britannica.com/biography/Gustav-Mahler/Musical-works-middle-period#ref270272|Britannica]])]

 +
 +===== Simon Rattle =====
 +
 +On his first engagement with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Sir Simon Rattle takes a bow after completing Mahler's 5th Symphony. From his days with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra onwards, his renditions of Mahler symphonies have become legendary.[([[https://bachtrack.com/review-mahler-rattle-berlin-philharmonic-london-february-2015|Bach Track]])]
 +
 +===== Seiji Ozawa =====
 +
 +In 2006, Seiji Ozawa, director of the Vienna State Opera Hall, conducts Mahler's Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection." The Resurrection is one of Mahler's most difficult and rewarding works, a massive meditation on the afterlife with some genuinely terrible sounds.[([[https://www.classicfm.com/composers/mahler/pictures/mahlers-150th-birthday/12/|Classic FM]])]
