Mahler Symphony No. 1 “Titan”“Gustav Mahler has always loomed large in my exploration of music. I am deeply attracted to this music that can be as world-embracing as Beethoven’s, yet often so personal—an artist’s soul laid bare. His mastery of the orchestra, his ear for color, his ability to shift from one emotional extreme to another, all of what makes Mahler so singular, can be heard in this First Symphony. Mahler’s life was a quest for perfection in artistic expression, from the way we render the notes to the way we tap into the soul.”
—Daniel MeyerWith a “dark-hued tone and razor-sharp technique” (The New York Times), Russian-American Yevgengy Kutik has captivated audiences worldwide with an old-world sound that communicates a modern intellect. Praised for his technical precision and virtuosity, he is also lauded for his poetic and imaginative interpretations of standard works as well as rarely heard and newly composed repertoire.
