Hallé/Elder – review

Purists might be alarmed at this rescoring of a notoriously dense bit of Mahler, but it actually works rather well, writes Tim Ashley

Mahler: Symphony No 6 – review

Antonio Pappano's recording may not be to everyone's taste, but this pulverising, warts-and-all Sixth really gets under your skin, writes Tim Ashley

RLPO/Petrenko – review

Few performances of the opening movement have seemed to cling to life with such uncontrollable desperation as this, writes Tim Ashley

RLPO/Petrenko – review

The performance of Mahler's Eighth Symphony touched on magnificence, but the cathedral's seven-second echo played havoc with the music, writes Tim Ashey

Philharmonia/Maazel – review

A great performance leaves you wanting the rest of the Mahler's unfinished symphony in one of its posthumous completions. In this instance, one was grateful Maazel proceeded no further, writes Tim Ashley

Mahler: Symphony No 9 – review

There are plenty of good discoveries to be made in Gergiev's interpretation, but the finale doesn't move as it should, writes Tim Ashley

Mahler: Symphony No 3 – review

The orchestral playing is as good as any, but Jansons's interpretation can't stand up against the great benchmark recordings, writes Andrew Clements

Cheltenham festival – review

Singing Loewe, Schubert and Mahler with an almost subversive demeanour, Boesch's expressiveness was extraordinary, writes Rian Evans

Scottish Ensemble – review

The Scottish Ensemble's programme was all about homages and featured nimble, tightly sprung and sonorous playing, writes Andrew Clements

CBSO/Rattle – review

Jane Irwin relished the freedom that Rattle's expansive conducting allowed her in the closing Mahler cycle performance, writes Andrew Clements

Mahler: Symphony No 3 – review

Jonathan Nott's account of Mahler's Third with his Bamberg orchestra starts and ends well, but is not perfect, writes Andrew Clements

LPO/Jurowski – review

The LPO offered a lifeline to concert-goers suffering Mahler fatigue by ending its uncommonly probing Mahler series with songs, writes Erica Jeal

Philharmonia/Maazel – review

This concert was equally about Lorin Maazel – and it didn't do this part of the Philharmonia's Mahler cycle any favours, writes Rian Evans

LPO/Vladimir Jurowski – review

This intelligent and revealing contribution to the Mahler anniversary celebrations didn't contain a single note by Mahler, writes Andrew Clements

Philharmonia/Maazel – review

Lorin Maazel's approach to Mahler is quixotic – he describes the symphonies as "like spaceships, forever orbiting and sending out signals", which may sound spaced-out, but his Mahler is a cosmic experience, writes Alfred Hickling

RLPO/Petrenko – review

Vasily Petrenko's ranting, brutal interpretation of Mahler's Sixth was a high point of the Liverpool Philharmonic's anniversary cycle, writes Tim Ashley
