A bit too lyrical for my taste the way the Metamorphosen were interpreted - as a German, I believe they need to convey also devastation. The Pathetique just incredible. Mahler 9 - the combination of transparency, texttreue with interpretative expression was unique. A tiny little bit more extroversion, going beyond the pure musical I would have desired for the fortissimo parts in the Adagio - still the pianissimo were incredibly touching.
