At Lotte Concert Hall, Jaap van Zweden and the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra gave Mahler’s Sixth Symphony as an argument under pressure rather than a pageant of anguish. The evening ran on the swift side, but speed was never the point. What mattered was the conductor’s refusal to spend emotional capital early: phrases were banked, climaxes measured and the orchestra’s bright, compact sonority – strings tightly grained, brass incisive, percussion exact – was made to serve a larger line. Tragedy, here, was not declaimed. It was built.
