$J\u00e4rvi Conducts Mahler 7$

Estonian-American conductor Paavo Järvi’s return to Davies Symphony Hall delivers passion & pyrotechnics aplenty with Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 2, which showcases the Berlin-based Russian-American pianist Kirill Gerstein. Mahler's Seventh Symphony opens with a slow & shadowy first movement & closes with a euphoric, tempo-switching, Mozart-quoting rondo finale that has always been hater bait, but who cares? Let the boring killjoys blabber on about incoherence while the rest of us bask in its brilliant sunshine.
