June 2012
Roth has consciously chosen to downplay the very personal idiosyncrasies in Mahler's music that so many other conductors have played up...Rather than being positioned apologetically as an indiscretion, the Webern comes off with full Romantic force, much in the same musical mind as Mahler and fully equal to the First Symphony in its youthful enthusiasm.
