From Reviews:

“This is one of the most thrilling Mahler performances I have ever heard.”-Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Lloyd Schwartz

“The Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra may well be considered competitive with world classensembles.” -Lew Smoley,Wunderhorn(Magazine of the Mahler Society)

“It’s quite clear that Benjamin Zander has not merely tutored the orchestra in how to play the symphony but that he has encouraged them to explore the work individually and collectively and to discover what is below the surface of the music. The performance radiates assurance and understanding … This is a recording of the Ninth that can sit proudly in any Mahler collection.” -John Quinn, MusicWeb International
