Have seen the third symphony performed in Sweden, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, France, Hungary, Italy, Spain and France during the 80s,90s!
In Sweden it was performed as often as the 2,4,5,6,7th symphony!
His Resurrection symphony no 2, also requires immense forces, like separate hidden musicians, simulating echo effect and big choir with additional soloists with huge orchestra.
His no 5 is of course the most popular, because of its famous "Adagietto",
which the world has been swooning to since
"Death in Venice" hit the silver screen! 1971!
By the way, even more immense forces are required in his symphony no 8!
Watch Simon Rattle, the new Karajan of our time!
(seems like Simon likes to wear a chinese shirt instead of the traditional tuxedo, lol!)
