Rotterdam Philharmonic Gergiev Festival

‘A seething ocean,’ is what Mahler called the scherzo of his Fifth Symphony. If one orchestra fathoms what the composer meant by that, it is the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. ‘Penetrating … heroic … deeply felt,’ wrote the New York Times of their interpretation. ‘These players make Mahler’s borrowings from Jewish folk and liturgical traditions sound authentic and soulful.’ Highly recommended.
