Zubin Mehta conducts the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra in an overwhelming performance of Gustav Mahler's 2-part, 6-movement Symphony No. 3 In D Minor with Maureen Forrester (contralto), Sidney Harth (violin) and Robert di Vall (posthorn). Made in March of 1978 at Royce Hall in Los Angeles, CA by recording engineers James Lock and Simon Eadon, this staging of Mahler's Symphony No. 3 is considered to be one of the best Decca recordings available. 

Disc 1 is a hybrid SACD containing the complete album on the SACD layer. Due to the time constraints of the CD format, the performance is split between Discs 1 & 2.
