PHILHARMONIA ORCHESTRA

MAHLER: Symphony No. 3
with Hogni Wu

“So, did Paavo Järvi and the Philharmonia let the monsters loose? They did. The introduction was thrillingly eruptive, with braying brass, seismically uprushing basses and ear-splitting drums. It was as stupendous and astonishing as it must have been for Mahler’s first audiences … I have never heard a performance of this dizzyingly multifarious symphony that was so clearly and consistently the outworking of a single vision, generated and sustained by a single impulse.”
Seen and Heard International, Chris Kettle, 18 March 2023

“… masterful conducting, effortless in every gear change … The echo-aftermath of the horns’ big summons at the start was especially startling … “
