What he does better than any conductor I know of is to take you into the inner spirit of a piece-the unguarded romanticism of the Sibelius, the sorrowing punishment of the Shostakovich Fifth Symphony, the hypnotic eeriness of Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht, the sweet swagger of Mahler's First Symphony-with so much vibrancy that I felt like Margaret O'Brien at the end of The Secret Garden when she opens the gate to her private paradise and we enter, for the first time, a world in color.
