This live recording is of extra interest given that its Dutch conductor was recently appointed next music director of the New York Philharmonic. For me, the appeal of Jaap van Zweden is his lack of pomp or histrionics, his no-nonsense rigour, his steady hand. Yet while his control is impressive, this isn’t the most exciting Mahler 3. He plots a clean path through the sprawling first movement and makes the climax an unambiguous joy. As a violinist (once youngest-ever leader of the Concertgebouw), he knows how to strip away clutter and let players do their thing: listen to the simple but still-fluid wind and brass solos.
