Christoph Eschenbach has long championed the music of the German composer Matthias Pintscher, and tonight he offers the Mallarmé-inspired Hérodiade-Fragmente - the piece for soprano and orchestra which Eschenbach was due to conduct here in 2006 with the Philadelphia Orchestra, before a small fire at the Royal Albert Hall forced the concert to be abandoned.
Mahler's First Symphony opens magically with the sounds of nature as it teems with life. Eschenbach's Mahler has been widely admired, and his galvanising effect on tonight's relatively young orchestra (it was only founded in 1967) has been one of the musical talking points of the French capital.
