Awards and reviews
In many ways this is an admirable Mahler Third. Salonen seems to have a clear sense not only of where each movement is going but also of the overall trajectory of the symphony. Such reservations as I have concern some tempo selections, which at times seem to me to be on the brisk side. However, other may not share that view and, in any case, I think Salonen’s way with the music is refreshing overall. His interpretation is supported by terrific playing by the members of the LAPO; collectively they are excellent and there’s also an abundance of delightful solo work to enjoy.
