About

"an inexorable force that seemed to come from nowhere but infact had been cleverly prepared for. This is the kind of work that reveals the LSO itself as a real community of an orchestra, a collection of talented individuals responding to Mahler's every solo opportunity but dedicated to a common cause" Daily Telegraph concert review

"the LSO was all power and perspiration, muscle and machismo. Even in the radiant, hymn-like final movement Gergiev found (and seized upon) hidden storms and stresses" The Times concert review

January 2009

The first and third movements climax in a dash to the finishing-line that has one pinned to one's seat. The finale has an immediacy and machismo you may or may not find at odds with its elevated spiritual character.

intensely theatrical...The sharp dynamic contrasts are well brought out in the first movement, with all the colourful woodwind writing well highlighted and pointed...[Larsson] is very expressive and beautifully supported by the orchestra.

I've never heard the opening Pan Awakes music more marvellously vivid in all its miraculous scoring, every dynamic in place, the snarl of the trombones, the menace of the trumpets ... you won't hear more brilliant playing than the LSO's
