Biography

ESA-PEKKA SALONEN – A BIOGRAPHICAL TIMELINE
“Mahler’s Third Symphony really was the vindication . . . of the Philharmonia’s happy decision to take on Esa-Pekka Salonen as principal conductor from 2008. The vividly individuated solos, the chamber-like transparency of ensemble, and the assured pacing and structuring of the vast first movement were very much a result of his inspiration.”

Energetic performance 14 Aug 2009
Format:Audio CD
Energetic is probably an understatement. Salonen brings all the rhythmic energy and drive that he is famous for to this piece. Tempi are often taken on the fast side, but the effect is thrilling. The Philharmonia play spectacularly well (with only very occasional tuning issues), and a special mention should go to the two piccolo players who in this recording regularly screech over the top of the orchestra. Absolutely fantastic.

The CD arrived quickly and was competitively priced. Whilst I am not qualified to comment on the quality of the performance, I know that I greatly enjoy listening to the music.
