Description
|
|
|
|
This remastered Decca "Originals" recording from 1984 is up against scads more competition today, yet it still holds a preeminent place in the annals of Mahler symphonies on record. An added bonus is Yvonne Minton's beautiful and insightful performance of four of the most popular songs from The Youth's Magic Horn, which Mahler drew on for themes in many of his symphonies. "Solti's famous LSO recording of Mahler's First was described by Deryck Cooke as a wonderful coming together of top-class playing, recording and conducting…. It was, he said, one of the finest records he had ever listened to…. The reading and the playing (by a different orchestra) remain as persuasive as ever…. The new Decca is limpidly clear."—Gramophone "The Chicago orchestra, in the midst of a mini-Mahler cycle for Solti, sounds fabulous."—Fanfare
