"…Tennstedt goes for the jugular, accentuating the theatricality of Mahler's musical language." BBC Music Magazine, July 2009 ***
"Tennstedt exposes every nerve-ending of the piece from start to finish. Big sounds, big rubatos, big everything. …it's a corker, this performance." Gramophone Magazine, August 2009
Press acclaim from Tennstedt conducting Mahler 6:
'[The] BBC proms audience stood motionless through the ninety minutes of Tennstedt's 6th, petrified by its intensity.' Norman Lebrecht in Maestros, Masterpieces and Madness on this 1983 performance.
'The attraction in both cases was Mahler's 6th Symphony, the most challenging and most problematic of the set, its champions the London Philharmonic Orchestra, its interpreter, Klaus Tennstedt…. Here was a performance to revere and to remember, historic even, and if it has not already been recorded, it ought to be.' Evening Standard, November 1991 (RFH performance)
