© Manuela Jans/Festival de Lucerne Two storms in D minor At the KKL, Alexandre Kantorow, Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra built an entire evening upon a single key.

Genesis of Mahler’s Ninth in Toblach, at the heart of the Dolomites At the Lucerne Festival, Kirill Petrenko and the Berlin Philharmonic delivered a performance of Mahler’s Ninth Symphony as unrelenting as it was vertiginous.
