From the concert review of Mahler's 3rd Symphony, Royal Festival Hall, London, 10/11/1999. "The three greatest Mahler performances I have heard in the concert hall were all conducted by the same man, and the third of them took place in the Festival Hall last night... They shared the same truthfulness, power and eloquence, and an understanding of Mahler's world that positions him perfectly on the cusp between the two centuries that he straddled..." -The Guardian |
