The New York Philharmonic
Friday November 11, 2005 - Concertgebouw Amsterdam
New York Philharmonic Orchestra, Lorin Maazel (conductor)
This concert gave exactly what I expected: a wonderful Strauss, and a disappointing Mahler. Maazel is a mannered conductor and that fits with Richard Strauss. Beautiful played and a very clear sound. It's a good piece also. The Mahler 5th was a little boring: playing the notes and that was it. Though: the New York Philharmonic sounded a better orchestra than I expected in advance. But this wasn't a very convincing concert.
