Bristol Evening Post, October 2001

In Mahler's Second Symphony, The Resurrection, the fine orchestra - consisting of many young musicians ... distinguished itself in the various movements.

 

The brass, particularly, showed the forcefulness needed in this work. The last passage is a colossal structure, in which Mahler incoporates the diverse feelings shown previously.

 

The orchestra, expertly conducted by Philip Mackenzie and supported by the choir and the two soloists, Ilona Domnich (soprano) and Jeanette Ager (mezzo soprano), produced a most stunning finale to this ethereal masterpiece.
