Mahler Symphony No 9

Dudamel Gustavo

This is Dudamel’s first CD with the Los Angeles Philharmonic,\nrecorded live at LA’s famed Disney Concert Hall as part of their\nepic 2012 Mahler Project, celebrating one of the most energetic and\nexciting musical partnerships of our times - The coming together of\nthe very finest American orchestra, led with passion and vision by\nthe unique force of nature that is Gustavo Dudamel.

\n

Mahler’s magisterial Ninth Symphony was completed in 1909;\ntragically, he died in May 1911, without ever hearing it performed.\nDudamel and the LA Phil toured Europe with Mahler 9 in 2011,\ngarnering widespread critical acclaim: the Guardian praised them\nfor “a refinement and expressivity that touched the sublime”.

Review

When Dudamel first started with the LA Symphony Orchestra they performed Mahler Symphony No 1. This was and still is for me, the best performance of Mahler 1 I have ever heard. What is so exciting is that this performance of Mahler 9 equals what I thought could never be replicated in their performance of Mahler 1. There is so much depth of character in each musical idea, quite unlike anything else I have ever heard. For me, these are the perfect Mahler recordings.
