Julien Hanck, 16th October

Ces dernières années, on a surtout entendu Mahler sculpté par des baguettes démiurges : celles de Rattle, de Nézet-Séguin ou de Harding. Toutes ces lectures paraîtraient outrancières face à celle que proposait Franz Welser-Möst et l'Orchestre de Cleveland à la Philharmonie.
