The L.A. Phil New Music Group, in a subtly expanded orchestration of the piece, played with spacious flexibility, with fullness yet delicacy, under Paolo Bortolameolli. The score’s repeating figurations were propelled forward but never pushed. Near the end, the a cappella section “Earth Seen From Above” was simply exquisite, the ensemble making a softly hovering, kaleidoscopically shifting drone as an image of our planet, wrapped around the sphere, filled in with color.’

But undoubtedly the Mahlerian pages are still the ones that say it all; those that underline a hazy atmosphere. And those that Paolo Bortolameolli understood intelligently, whose baton was solid and careful. The conductor filled the room with expressiveness; he recreated the different climates: darkness, loneliness, lyricism, sensuality, apparent joy; he extracted rich timbres and explored colors.
