Excerpt from the Miami Herald

"Detroit Symphony Polished Under Virtuoso Conductor"

. . . What about Mahler's First Symphony in Miami Thursday night?  [Järvi's] performance had clarity, strength, a comprehensive grasp of the great score's structure and the translucent tonal texture to illuminate fascinating detail . . . Järvi and his players gave a solid exhibition of orchestral control and a sense of freedom within correct boundaries . . .
