“… a production with unleashed sound contrasts in the glittering brass, shrill woodwind tableaux and string madness. Symphonic art which touches the extremities of our existence, a terrible end to the tragedy, two death-blows with a hammer. Mahler’s Hitchcock-symphony in the Beethovensaal? Enthusiastic, emotional applause, repeated calls of bravo.”
Helmuth Fiedler, Stuttgarter Nachrichten
