by anasazi » Fri Jun 22, 2007 2:29 am, Post I initially wanted to listen to the Gergiev/LSO recordings, but according to reviews they aren't the best. Marvel at the five-theme fugal ending! I'm surprised Kubelik hasn't received one vote as yet. Mahler had a 4 symphony cycle that went: very good, great, so-so, flawed. He reigns over huge forces, near heavenly at their best, but the sound is anything but, which nudges this account just out of the upper echelons. My bent is libertarian, my background European, my passion classical music and its economics. Similar in all flaws – but something lesser in every qualitative aspect – is Simon Rattle’s EMI/Warner recording. Third is the “triple chocolate cake” version, which basically means a recording that goes over the top in emotion (Bernstein on DG, for example), but is still amazing and incredibly moving. Welcome to the new Classical Music Guide Online Forums! 4 - Michael Tilson Thomas conducting the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, 2004 No. In particular his recording of Das Lied von der Erde w/ Kathleen Ferrier ranks among my favorites. These are the best recordings of this work: Today, 106 years ago, this work was premiered in Munich. Best of all is Bernstein himself, here at his exciting best, giving daemonic edge to the music where it is appropriate and building the symphony inexorably to its final triumph. On Audite (SACD, live), rather than the studio effort on Deutsche Grammophon, the performers are captured at their best. 7 - Leonard Bernstein conducting the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, 1965 No. by Ralph » Fri Jun 22, 2007 7:17 am, Post 3), Frederica von Stade (mezzo - No. 3 - Iván Fischer conducting the Budapest Festival Orchestra, 2017 No. by pizza » Mon Jul 02, 2007 10:10 am, Post More recently, I really like Riccardo Chailly as a Mahler conductor (saw him conduct Mahler 5 live, one of the best live performances I have seen). .ehsOqYO6dxn_Pf9Dzwu37{margin-top:0;overflow:visible}._2pFdCpgBihIaYh9DSMWBIu{height:24px}._2pFdCpgBihIaYh9DSMWBIu.uMPgOFYlCc5uvpa2Lbteu{border-radius:2px}._2pFdCpgBihIaYh9DSMWBIu.uMPgOFYlCc5uvpa2Lbteu:focus,._2pFdCpgBihIaYh9DSMWBIu.uMPgOFYlCc5uvpa2Lbteu:hover{background-color:var(--newRedditTheme-navIconFaded10);outline:none}._38GxRFSqSC-Z2VLi5Xzkjy{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-actionIcon)}._2DO72U0b_6CUw3msKGrnnT{border-top:none;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaText);cursor:pointer;padding:8px 16px 8px 8px;text-transform:none}._2DO72U0b_6CUw3msKGrnnT:hover{background-color:#0079d3;border:none;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-body);fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-body)} Today, 106 years ago, this work was premiered in Munich, by the orchestra that is now the Munich Philharmonic. 9 - Lorin Maazel conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra, 2011 No. You should definitely give them a listen at least - Gergiev is IMO a world class conductor when he knows the repertoire, actually bothers to rehearse the piece (big if! (we know you're tempted for more - there's a fantastic analysis of the finale here). .

The Eight Symphony, and Goethe’s Faust II, is, if anything, nebulous. I have had a lot of respect for Bernstein/NYP as well. There is nothing athletic about it. I'd suggest the Georg Solti/Chicago Symphony Orchestra set, or Haitink/Concertgebouw, as they are good recordings by great Mahlerians that don't go too over the top in interpretation. Finally, I listened to them, and I think his may be the one of the most consistent sets. But I think he hit the mark the best in the 5th and the 9th. His typical way of composing in interwoven Angst-driven, wrought, question marks here gives way to grandeur and bombast and a very different – even optimistic, partly archaic – musical language. .c_dVyWK3BXRxSN3ULLJ_t{border-radius:4px 4px 0 0;height:34px;left:0;position:absolute;right:0;top:0}._1OQL3FCA9BfgI57ghHHgV3{-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-ms-flex-pack:start;justify-content:flex-start;margin-top:32px}._1OQL3FCA9BfgI57ghHHgV3 ._33jgwegeMTJ-FJaaHMeOjV{border-radius:9001px;height:32px;width:32px}._1OQL3FCA9BfgI57ghHHgV3 ._1wQQNkVR4qNpQCzA19X4B6{height:16px;margin-left:8px;width:200px}._39IvqNe6cqNVXcMFxFWFxx{display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;margin:12px 0}._39IvqNe6cqNVXcMFxFWFxx ._29TSdL_ZMpyzfQ_bfdcBSc{-ms-flex:1;flex:1}._39IvqNe6cqNVXcMFxFWFxx .JEV9fXVlt_7DgH-zLepBH{height:18px;width:50px}._39IvqNe6cqNVXcMFxFWFxx ._3YCOmnWpGeRBW_Psd5WMPR{height:12px;margin-top:4px;width:60px}._2iO5zt81CSiYhWRF9WylyN{height:18px;margin-bottom:4px}._2iO5zt81CSiYhWRF9WylyN._2E9u5XvlGwlpnzki78vasG{width:230px}._2iO5zt81CSiYhWRF9WylyN.fDElwzn43eJToKzSCkejE{width:100%}._2iO5zt81CSiYhWRF9WylyN._2kNB7LAYYqYdyS85f8pqfi{width:250px}._2iO5zt81CSiYhWRF9WylyN._1XmngqAPKZO_1lDBwcQrR7{width:120px}._3XbVvl-zJDbcDeEdSgxV4_{border-radius:4px;height:32px;margin-top:16px;width:100%}._2hgXdc8jVQaXYAXvnqEyED{animation:_3XkHjK4wMgxtjzC1TvoXrb 1.5s ease infinite;background:linear-gradient(90deg,var(--newCommunityTheme-field),var(--newCommunityTheme-inactive),var(--newCommunityTheme-field));background-size:200%}._1KWSZXqSM_BLhBzkPyJFGR{background-color:var(--newCommunityTheme-widgetColors-sidebarWidgetBackgroundColor);border-radius:4px;padding:12px;position:relative;width:auto} So there might be quite a few 9ths in this list, but that's OK. in “Waldung, sie schwankt heran”) is a hushed dream and baritone Boaz Daniel is a crisp Pater Ecstaticus to lead into “Ewiger Wonnebrand”. by karlhenning » Tue Jun 26, 2007 11:39 am, Post I'd also say the same about Haitink's RCOA set, but the I prefer it on LP over CD. by Lance » Mon Jun 25, 2007 5:18 pm, Post Another is my desert island recording, one that for me hits every mark: sound quality, interpretation, and performance. Ham up that grandeur, and the work will irredeemably descend into pomposity. Bernstein and Abbado are great Mahler conductors for sure, but the recordings are not really audiophile quality. But those who get bitten by the Mahler bug fall hard for the Austrian’s symphonies and orchestral songs. 6 - Mariss Jansons conducting the London Symphony Orchestra, 2003 No. But there were persistent voices that hailed this performance – and indeed, it is better than much competition, strong on atmosphere. The Fourth Symphony is the last of the Wunderhorn group and a link back to the Third is confirmed by a quote from that work's fourth movement in the finale of this one. Love it but it's never been my absolute favorite. That doesn’t mean sluggishness: 80 minutes is enough for him. Hebert von Karajan's Mahler is quite idiosyncratic too although I prefer it to Bernstein, and he came to it quite late in his life so there's not a complete cycle out there. by Heck148 » Sat Jun 23, 2007 8:49 am, Post The ingredients are all killer: a noble theme, a maniac composer, the crushing depression of going deaf, red wine, brotherhood, massive choirs, a closing melody that a child could sing… what else could you ever want? It’s another grand, weighty, and magnificent reading. ._12xlue8dQ1odPw1J81FIGQ{display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle} His 6th especially comes highly recommended from me! Thanks to a very clear and well-balanced recording, every subtlety of scoring, especially some of the lower strings' counterpoint, comes through as the conductor intended. Kubelik is Mahler-lite...and generally too fast. I don't know that I'd recommend the set, but he does do some things very well, like the eighth and the fourth (my two least favorites). This item is currently out of stock at the UK distributor. Best Mahler Works: 10 Essential Pieces By The Great Composer Symphony … I love Bernstein's interpretations of Mahler, generally. I would disagree with all the people suggesting Bernstein, his interpretations of Mahler are quite unique and "overinterpreted", not really good for a beginner. Post Like… oh, I don't know, the entire life cycle of the human condition, beginning with the funeral and ending with a triumphant, supernatural return to life, quoting Jewish folk music and ending with church bells. Oh calm down, as if we couldn't put this one on the list. His Mahler is my favorite. But he doesn’t rush and there is just enough of that element of ambience that is necessary for an Eight to shimmer and float. Between 1971 and 1976 Humphrey Burton directed filmed concerts of Bernstein conducting the nine Mahler symphonies, along with DasLied von der Erde and the Adagio from the unfinished Tenth.

Recoil in wonder at the majesty of it all!

I want to start listening to Mahler's symphonies, but I don't know which recordings would be best to listen to. 2) has always taken first place with Leopold Stokowski and his forces.
