Hans Vonk continues great Dutch Mahler tradition
“The grand Dutch tradition of Mahler interpretation is evidently continuing in the work of Hans Vonk, who conducted the St. Louis Symphony at Carnegie Hall in a resplendent account of the composer’s Third Symphony.

He conducted a performance of huge dynamic range and sometimes of startling changes in tempo and color, but his choices were dictated less by urgent expressive needs than by a pleasure in the music and a justified pride in how his orchestra can play it...The finale was nobly sustained, intimately modelled and at time exquisitely fine – and when the brass chorale arrived to bring in the close, the last melody sounded, gentle and sure, like the national anthem of Heaven.”
(The New York Times, October 1999)
