"Petrenko has a way of hearing deep into textures and harmonies that is at times really quite startling. He gives us X-ray ears" Gramophone recording of the Month August 2021
If one sought a musical manifestation of all the painful experiences and tragic failures of European history in the early 20th century, it would be impossible to overlook the symphonies of Gustav Mahler. Here, there is no harmony where discord is more fitting. Here, life cries out, with all the conflict and joy it proffers humanity. In their performances, Kirill Petrenko and the Bayerisches Staatsorchester have enabled these experiences to resonate in remarkable fashion. What better way to launch the Bayerische Staatsoper's new label than with this outstanding live concert recording. - Nikolaus Bachler (General Manager, Bayerische Staatsoper)
"Petrenko has a way of hearing deep into textures and harmonies that is at times really quite startling. He gives us X-ray ears" Gramophone recording of the Month August 2021
"This Mahler shows why [Petrenko's] rise has been so meteoric. This is a cogently argued and brilliantly played reading of Mahler's "problem" symphony...Petrenko has an innate feeling for the modernity and nostalgia of Mahler's music." Sunday Times
"Petrenko has made so few recordings that this is bound to be compelling listening, but it's also a fascinating interpretation of Mahler's most challenging symphony in its own right, never missing a textural detail, and strictly observing all of the score's dislocations and abrupt tempo changes." The Guardian
