Description
Critical opinions of Leonard Bernstein's intensely personal readings of Gustav Mahler's symphonies have run the gamut from adulatory to dismissive, and time has not yet brought a consensus on these historic performances with the New York Philharmonic, originally released on here on Columbia Masterworks as a limited edition box set.
Exploring this set is certainly educational, not merely for knowing how the quirky but charismatic Bernstein interpreted the nine symphonies, Das Lied von der Erde, and the Adagio from the unfinished Tenth Symphony, but also for hearing the reminiscences of associates and musicians who performed under Mahler and shared their thoughts in a 1967 recording, which is included on a seperate LP.
This is a limited edition box set from Columbia Masterworks and is numbered 3593. It comes with the case, a book giving detailed information and background for each symphony, and a bonus LP mentioned above in addition to the 14 LPs that contain the symphonies.
