Post-Concert Press:
May 23, 2011 The New York Times; "With Subtlety and Power, Observing Mahler's Moment"
| |
"The orchestra played with focused power when it had to, as in a sweeping first movement energized by subtle yet sturdy percussion playing. But Mr. Lacombe also highlighted the work’s gracefulness, in passages like the start of the minuet in the second movement and the hints of street music in the third."

“‘[Mahler 3] uses a fairly big orchestra,’ Lacombe says. ‘But in my opinion it’s probably one of the most inspired in terms of (its music) and feeling that you get in a piece like that, it has a great depth to it. It’s one of his most important symphonies. Of course they’re all special but this one, for a lot of conductors, is one of the things that you really want to do and have in your repertoire. It’s a really wonderful piece of music.’”

CONDUCTOR INSIGHT |

Jacques Lacombe, Music Director

“The Mahler 3 program marked the closing of a cycle of a season. This season has been a hymn to man and nature, and this wonderful piece celebrates this incredible journey through life. With a huge orchestra, choirs and a wonderful mezzo-soprano, there’s something in Mahler 3 for people who like voice, people who like rich German repertoire, people who like colorful orchestrations and music partly inspired by folk music … It’s music that speaks to a very broad audience. It’s a great finale. And when you hear a piece like Mahler 3 in concert, you come out of the concert hall and you really feel that you’re a bit, if not changed, then really deeply touched and moved by the great fantastic spectrum of emotions that are contained in this piece.”
