(Clearly this is "Urlicht".)
A trio of reviews with a fourth suspected:
- Joshua Kosman, SF Chron
- Lisa Hirsch, SFCV
- Thomas May, CVNA
I meant to say something about Salonen observing the pause between the first and second movements of the Mahler, and forgot. I also had a draft lede that was awfully close to what Joshua wrote, but I pulled it in an edit. I can't remember exactly why, but I'll say that I don't have enough of a sonic memory or notes on MTT's performances of Mahler or written reviews to be able to describe accurate how and why Salonen's performance differed, so I concentrated on writing about what was in front of me Thursday night.
