“There’s no way this could possibly be a “youth orchestra“—it certainly doesn’t sound like one—not only technically but the way these staggeringly skillful players convey both the extraordinary power and the most intimate nuances of this masterpiece. This is one of the most thrilling Mahler performances I’ve ever heard.”
– Lloyd Schwartz, Pulitzer Prize winning critic, New York Arts
