There's never been a first symphony to match Mahler's, and from the glistening stillness of its visionary opening to its final, epic ascent from the inferno to paradise. It's a suitably joyous ending to the orchestra's 80th anniversary season - and to a concert that begins with the poetry and warmth of Brahms's expansive Second Piano Concerto: a Romantic master at his big-hearted best, and a glowing conclusion to Denis Kozhukhin's ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO Brahms cycle.
