Seoul Phil to demonstrate might through Mahler series

Chung Myung-whun once said he became a conductor because the piano could not express the colorful timbres of Gustav Mahler’s symphonies.

Chung first fulfilled this desire during the 2004 and 2005 season with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, performing all of the Austrian composer’s 10 symphonies. The series triggered a sensation in classical music circles and made headlines in the French daily Le Figaro.”
