Intro with Paavo Järvi about Mahler

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".
