Performer: Bernarda Fink

A great close to Maher's Second Symphony in Boston, paired with an earthbound curtain raiser. 

A stellar performance of Mahler’s cosmic Third symphony reinforces the reputation of Katowice as a bone fide member of the premier European music league.

Amazing for his young age, Andris Nelsons grasped the essence of Mahler's spiritual quest in coming to terms with life's challenges

American violinist Joshua Bell updates a tradition with class and panache in the Czech Philharmonic's season opener.

A powerful and well-paced Mahler 3 from Jakub Hrůša and the Philharmonia, with heartfelt sadness and rich tone from Bernarda Fink.

A roster of star performers and a sprinkling of maestro magic turn this semi-staged concert into a memorable event. Shame about the big ideas.
