After the debut of Giuseppe Verdi's "Don Carlo" at the Teatro Comunale, the city of Sassari enjoyed another premiere: Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 3 in D minor. The protagonists were the Orchestra dell'Ente de Carolis, conducted with maturity by the emerging Matteo Dal Maso , who is just 29 years old.
The audience appreciated above all the harmony between Dal Maso and the orchestra, an essential prerequisite for interpreting a complex score lasting almost one hundred minutes.
In the third movement , Luigi Corrias's trumpet soloist emerged, summoned to evoke, offstage, the sound of the post horn. The fourth movement featured contralto Eglė Wyss , interpreting the verses of Friedrich Nietzsche's "Midnight Song."
In the fifth movement, it was the turn of the female voices of the Coro dell'Ente de Carolis , prepared by Francesca Tosi , and the Coro delle Voci Bianche, directed by Salvatore Rizzu.
