A First-Rate Mahler Third

There are two central things to know about Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 3: It is much too long (indeed, at just over 100 minutes, longer than any other symphony in the standard repertory), but it closes with a movement that is so achingly beautiful you never want it to end.
