Description
|
|
|
|
"A personal statement by one great musician on another" (Penguin Guide), Bernstein's exhilarating and deeply moving Mahler cycle from the 1980s was recorded live with three different orchestras. It was the most deeply personal, passionate, and sensitive reading of the complete symphonies since that of Rafael Kubelík. "Finds the universal in Mahler's exquisite, often tortured self-consciousness."—Time "These performances are ... full of the excitement and intense commitment that Bernstein brought to the music of Gustav Mahler. The soundtrack for the Eighth admirably captures the vast array of instruments, choirs, soloists, and pipe organ."—Fanfare "I have incredible memories of performing Mahler's ninth symphony with the Royal Concertgebouw under Leonard Bernstein. He was extremely wild during the rehearsals, but calmed down during the concerts—that rehearsal tension, though, led to phenomenal performances."—Jaap van Sweden, BBC Music "Was there ever a more perfect musical match than composer Gustav Mahler and conductor Leonard Bernstein?"—Washington Post
