Diana Damrau, Jonas Kaufmann and Helmut Deutsch's European tour reaches Berlin with a heart-on-sleeve programme of Lieder by Strauss and Mahler. 

South Korean soprano Sumi Hwang's Mahler, Richard Strauss and Brahms from Hans Graf are musical and geographical synergy in Singapore, heralding the Lunar New Year. 

With his impish grin, the Hungarian conductor revels in Mahler's “heavenly” Fourth Symphony as clothed in refreshing period instrument colours. 

After their "military" theme last week, Daniele Gatti and Markus Werba turned towards nature for their second programme with the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.

Theodor Currentzis and his musicAeterna bring blistering detail and revelatory playing to Wunderhorn-period Mahler, but it ultimately proves short on warmth. 

Salonen has an obvious vision on how to conduct Mahler, relentelsly driving the orchestra in the direction he wants.

Gansch and Martineau fail to dazzle in an unchallenging programme of bucolic and playful Lieder.
