In the throes of spontaniety if not eccentricity, Kuusisto stamped his foot, gestured to the audience and the orchestra with his bow, hunched himself over Quasimodo-like, tucked one foot behind the calf of the other, and fiddled away one-legged with much ostentatiousness.
The orchestra responded with great alacrity to Zander, but I was drawn especially to the string playing, shading the opening undulating melody with autumnal melancholy.

Glad to say, the Malaysian Philharmonic proves itself to be a formidable Mahler ensemble and the experience of listening to Das Lied live is truly one of the most moving experiences in my life.
Acclaimed as probably the finest piece he ever composed (apart from overplayed Concerto for Orchestra), I believe this masterpiece is best listened (and viewed) live, especially with particularly the innovative orchestral arrangements of two seperate string orchestra for antiphonal effect and central placements of percussion instruments.
For the fast movements, Maestro Lintu and the MPO responded to the difficult rhythmic writings of Bartok and the antiphonal exchanges between two string orchestras are executed well with few minor lapses, or what I rather call "lags" but not too unsteady.
