“The Utah Symphony closed its season in stellar fashion this weekend, with music director Thierry Fischer leading the orchestra in exciting performances of Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1 and Mahler’s Symphony No. 4…Fischer and the orchestra rose to the occasion with a supporting performance worthy of the soloist.”
 
“Mahler’s Symphony No. 4, bringing the first half of Fischer’s two-season Mahler symphony cycle to a promising close. There was excellence all over the stage Saturday, with standout individual contributions too numerous to mention.. Fischer closed the first and last movements with awe-inspiring pianissimos.”

“Fischer captured the humor and charm of the work with his well-conceived interpretation that embraced its quiet energy and flowing lines. The orchestra played with finely molded lyricism and expressiveness; and the many solo passages were well played, in particular concertmaster Ralph Matson’s extended solos in the second, Ländler-like, movement.”
