| 26-Mar-2013 Birmingham Symphony Hall | An exuberant Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester in Birmingham with Andsnes and Blomstedt |
 Herbert Blomstedt brought the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester to Birmingham for the ninth of their eleven-concert, two-week Easter tour. Their magisterial account of Bruckner’s Romantic Symphony, and a fine performance of Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto by Leif Ove Andsnes, earned them a vociferous reception. A detour to Birmingham between Interlaken and Aix-en-Provence may not seem entirely logical, but the orchestra, made up of European conservatoire students aged 18–26, very visibly enjoyed themselves.Read full review... | |
| 27-Aug-2012 Concertgebouw: Main Hall | Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester at Robeco Zomerconcerten |
 The Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester are known as one of the best youth orchestras in the world, if not the best. As such, they do not shy away from the more difficult repertoire and tonight’s performance of Berg’s Violin Concerto and Mahler’s Symphony no. 7 reaffirmed their reputation. While not faultless, the orchestra was energetic and exceptionally skilled throughout – making a lasting impression.

| 26-Aug-2012 Royal Albert Hall | Prom 57: From Wagner to Vienna with the GMJO |
 The Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester is one of the finest youth orchestras in the world. Bringing together young musicians from all over Europe, from Portugal to Russia, it is a model of international co-operation. With former members in almost all the major symphony orchestras in Europe it is the stomping ground of our continent’s best young orchestral musicians, and Sunday night’s concert showed the high standards these young players set for themselves.Read full review... | |
| 12-Apr-2012 Musikverein: Großer Saal | The Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra's Easter Tour in Vienna |
 It isn’t often that the Musikverein programmes Webern, the most underperformed of Vienna’s major musical sons, alongside a Liebestod from Bayreuth’s reigning Isolde, but then this was no ordinary Musikverein concert. The Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester is currently on their annual Easter tour and the programme on Thursday night, while eclectic in appearance, was consistent with their commitment to the European late-romantic and modernist traditions.
