Music Director Paavo Järvi talks to Ulrike Thiele in the podcast about magical moments with Mahler's music, new freedoms and why it is now time for a Mahler cycle.
He also reveals why Mahler's score is so important and revealing for conductors in particular. Why is the Fifth a new beginning? What do Mahler, Stravinsky and Sibelius have in common? And why is the Adagietto so famous? You can hear Paavo Järvi's answers in the new episode "Intro".
