Dear friends, second installment of the series devoted to Mahler's symphonic music.
Three proposals made three successful editions frankly think those I have been listening.
- Bruno Walter with Orchestra Columbia Symphony. Already posted.
- Rafael Kubelik with the Symphony Orchestra of the Bavarian Radio in 1979 (although the CD indicates 1975, possibly corresponding to the same recording released to the market later Audit conducted in 1979). Delivery today.
- Horenstein the London Symphony Orchestra. Pending.
Match:
History:
- Design: "I Symphony" (1885).
- First interpretation:. "Symphonic Poem in two parts," November 20, 1889, Budapest, Mahler.
- First patch without Blumina, January 1893.
- Blumina Second revision, August 16, 1893, "Titan Symphony" in five movements.
- Second interpretation: "Titan" symphonic poem in the form of a symphony conducted by Mahler, October 27, 1893, Hamburg.

- Feierlich und gemessen, ohne Slepp zu
- e. Strmisch bewegt; energisch (January 19, 1893 renovatum)
Today's delivery is for the wonderful performance given by Rafael Kubelik leading the Orchestra of the Bavarian Radio. The CD gives date of registration 1975. However, in the whole discography consulted Kubelik not have this record with the orchestra on that date and they all point to match the label subsequently released the Audit dated November 2, 1979. If anyone has more information would be appreciated.
Anyway this is a huge and intense Mahler. From my point of view is not as perfect as my preferred approach, the one made by himself with Vienna Kubelik, in the First Symphony (I highly recommend your listening) but is a vitality, an energy, a brilliance and subtlety absolutely captivating. The Bavarian orchestra is a wonderful instrument, perfect, colorful, precise and beautiful. A magical interpretation of the great Kubelik in each and every one of their movements. Nuanced, lyrical, rhythmic, balanced, musical and beautiful. A recording of perhaps a tad less sound quality than reprocessing but particularly Audit I like and I find it more beautiful and attractive your listening. An intense performance and unparalleled energy.
