![Standing Ovations and Rave Reviews
The end of the EUROPE / WINTER 2012 tour garnished the following praise for Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic:
“Splendid and captivating from beginning to end.” — Trouw, Amsterdam
“The overall meaty orchestral sound was … used to full advantage.” — NRC Handelsblad, Amsterdam
“As for the orchestra, its sound as always took one’s breath away.… On the level of aural finesse Gilbert and the orchestra were superb.” — The Telegraph, London
“In the Sixties, that other New Yorker Leonard Bernstein … made [Mahler Ninth Symphony’s] neuroses his own. And I don’t think I’ve heard it since played with such fierce intensity as Bernstein brought to it until last night.” — London Evening Standard
“This was a finely realized performance [of Thomas Adès’s Polaris], the work’s intricate detail as focused as its clean-edged outline…. Their account of the second suite from Daphnis and Chloé was little short of sensational in its combination of precision and sweep.” — Guardian, London
“After three nights of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, it’s time to go on the wagon. My ears are saturated, and the emotional stimulus has been intoxicating, like walking down Fifth Avenue on a sunny morning.” — The Telegraph, London](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzv70iogOe1qa028to1_1280.jpg)
