Nezet-Seguin Mozart/Mahler concert

Mid February, the aforementioned conductor and the London Phil performed the Mozart Vln/Viola Concertante and Mahler Das Lied.

It's now available until March 10 on the London Phil website named "Listen Again"

The Mozart was very good, thought the viola soloist muffed up the concluding E-flat scale in the finale.

Mahler was terrific. The tenor was never shy about the high A naturals and B-flats and the mezzo really nailed the low section of her second song.

The orchestra was splendidly in tune. Fantastic flute solos in the last movement. if you don't have time for the entire Das Lied, try the first song for the tenor and the last song for the mezzo.
