Robert Treviño and the CBSO channel the stylistic shifts of Mahler’s Symphony no. 10 to reveal a work volatile and painful, yet bristling with life to the last. 

An unusual pairing of Tippett and Mahler’s final musical statements in a concert of extraordinary conviction presented by the LSO and their Music Director.

It is dramaturgically risky pitting one musically dark and unfinished work against another. Thomas Dausgaard and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra rose to the challenge in Schubert and Mahler.

The CBSO conducted by Nicholas Collon grapple with the collision of love and death in works by Mahler, Webern and Brahms

For the first time in its history, under Thomas Dausgaard's direction, the Seattle Symphony essays the ever-controversial – and not quite convincing – "Mahler Tenth".

Charming rendition of Mozart’s last piano concerto not enough to save Philharmonia Orchestra’s evening.

Vasily Petrenko and the Oslo Philharmonic give an at times searingly intense and ultimately triumphant performance of Mahler's Tenth Symphony. 

The story behind Mahler's Tenth Symphony, the composer's last work, suggests that the piece would be as vehement as Shostakovich or as sorrowful as late Brahms. Mahler died before he finished it, and midway through composing, he was heartbroken to learn of his wife’s infidelities.

If you watch one of Alfred Hitchcock's better movies (The Birds and The Man Who Knew Too Much are good examples), the timing and pace has a strange effect. The first half hour passes pleasantly enough: you meet the characters, and nothing too much happens. An hour in, and the action is running at break-neck pace, your pulse is racing, and your brain is straining to keep up.
