MORE MAHLER
30/01/2010 : Last year's Thai premiere of Mahler 5 by the adventurous Siam Philharmonic Orchestra received warm attention. Stan Gayuski of the International Mahler Society said: "I thought the performance was quite good and I, for one, hung on every note. I liked the solo aspects you drew out, and heard the symphony anew for that reason. Tam-tam was excellent and audible, which is not always the case. The brass and winds cannot be faulted. The trumpet stole the show. I have since been listening to M5 with Bernstein/Vienna. Although his performance was stronger in the violins and more forceful all around, I found myself enjoying it less than the results you drew from your own orchestra."
