Digital Booklet

|||||
"I marvelled not only at Maazel’s formidable interpretations but also at the sheer beauty of the orchestral playing and the excellent contributions from chorus and soloists ... Maazel displays his usual grasp of structure and the ability to build tension reminiscent of Toscanini at his best ... the monumental playing of the Philharmonia make for a cataclysmic finale which leaves one totally and magnificently drained."

In 2011, conductor Lorin Maazel recorded the complete cycle of Mahler’s nine symphonies live with the Philharmonia Orchestra and a star-studded ensemble of performers; the nine symphonies to be divided among three box sets. Sadly, Maazel died before the third set would be released in 2015. This installment of the trilogy covers the first three symphonies, including the Symphony No. 3, Mahler's most expansive, with a massive first movement suggesting the awakening of spring, four contrasting middle movements and a slow-building finale. The Symphony No. 2, 'Resurrection' is scored for a vast orchestra, an offstage brass band, two solo singers and massed voices.
