"The triumph of Abbado in Mahler's Ninth Symphony - A lesson in rigour and inspiration."
-- II Tempo, Rome

"They are young; the best of the best of the best; drawn from more than 20 European countries, incredible talent, marshalled and disciplined into an orchestra like no other, with every principal a soloist to die for, every player absolutely focused in his and her purpose, and every section trying to outdo, not each other, but itself."
-- Michael Tumelty, The Herald
