Beautifully prepared singing and playing brings out the tender side to Berg's modernist classic as part of the Southbank Centre’s Multitudes festival. 

Sacred and secular, operatic and symphonic dimensions united in a thrilling climax to the London Philharmonic Orchestra's season. 

The London Symphony Orchestra has a mighty history with Britten’s magnum opus and has this score in their collective DNA. 

Sometimes you just wish that circumstances had been different, fate kinder. Michael Tilson Thomas with the London Symphony Orchestra was not in full control of Mahler's mighty Third Symphony.

Pietari Inkinen conducts the Prague Symphony Orchestra in Mahler's monumental Third Symphony. 

What you will find in Mahler's Third is music which resonates with every part of your life. Esa-Pekka Salonen proves an indefatigable and sure-footed guide.

The LSO’s pedigree in Berlioz is second to none so La Damnation de Faust acted as the perfect showcase in its “This is Rattle” festival. 

Semyon Bychkov turned in a magisterial account of Mussorgsky's rugged score, aided and abetted by some strong vocal performances.

As Esa-Pekka Salonen resumes his Stravinsky series, he turns his attention to three underperformed works based on key figures of Greek mythology: Orpheus, Apollo and Persephone.

Bernard Haitink doesn't disappoint in a mature, considered reading of Mahler's epic Third Symphony. 

A wonderful performance of Mahler's Third Symphony with Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, concluding their Barbican residency. 

How to compare Nielsen and Ives? Possible similarities aside, however, the impact of their work is, on the whole, wildly contrasting.

Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts the Philharmonia in a fine account of Mahler's mighty “Symphony of a Thousand”, culminating in a dramatic realisation of Faust's redemption.

It takes any orchestra plenty of confidence and daring to embark on a single-work programme. There isn’t much chance for redemption should something go amiss. Then again, the length of Mahler’s third symphony and its demands on physical and emotional stamina don’t leave the Philharmonia Orchestra and conductor Lorin Maazel much choice.
