Performer: Isata Kanneh-Mason

Under Iván Fischer's direction, Mahler's First Symphony is notable more for bombastic passion than subtle artistry.

Some chamber concerts, like this one at Snape Maltings, can turn a public hall into a large drawing room. 

An impressive evening at the Barbican from two rapidly maturing performers, unafraid to bring chamber music to audiences more familiar with standard virtuosic concerto displays.
