A special weekend in Switzerland, collaborating on Mahler 6 with the wonderful musicians of the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich. It was my first time with them and hopefully not our last!

Good call, Ilona Schmiel!
The players liked him very much!!! Hope he will be in good health for many years to come.
I attended Sunday’s concert and left with a spring in my step. Thank you MTT and Tonhalle! A special occasion. I’m not sure I’ve read the script properly, but I find the sixth surprisingly uplifting at times despite the Tragic name, etc. Happy too with order of the middle movements chosen by MTT. Scherzo second, Andante third!
