Yesterday we approximate the great Mitropoulos incredibly beautiful and today for the shift to an equally beautiful and superb performance, left by Leonard Bernstein conducting the Vienna Philharmonic in 1972 taken at the concerts live recording on DVD by DG. This album has been featured in the blog earlier but this opportunity arises (hopefully to the delight of our good friend Maty) in FLAC format with, frankly, a lot better sound quality.

I must confess my passion for this recording. I think one of the best recordings I own, one of the truly great recordings of the music of Mahler, one of the greatest musical achievement of Bernstein and simply unmatched record of this symphony. Simply by the end of the work is worth listening carefully. The concept of Mahler is very mature compared to Lenny a decade earlier, neither better nor worse, just different. Have filed many of the edges of the first approach of Bernstein in these years is much more passionate, while maintaining its usual vehemence is more refined, but not excessive youth and perhaps without the years to come.

The conception of this work has, in my opinion, a huge influence Mitropoulos (can listen to his approach to the previous post), both in technical and emotionally and spiritually. Both men shared similar passions in the human field and the musical and the influence of Mitropoulos was always present in Bernstein respected throughout his life to the Greek master beyond some differences and "forgetting" that existed at the beginning of the race Lenny.

Bernstein's interpretation is achieved by an intensity unsurpassed. The nuances and details of music magically emerge from the development of different movements. Viennese musicians are really superb, with a warmth, musicality and accuracy unattainable. Its instruments and sounds of the fire pass to tenderness, from the cheerful to the intense and thoughtful, are warm, silky, shiny and spectacular. A simply unbeatable service and a deep impregnated emotional warmth.

Christa Ludwig, a regular contributor to Bernstein, sings like an angel and is accompanied by a chorus precious and beautiful. Brilliant, human artist.

I sincerely believe that is one of the most beautiful recreation of the music Mahler, an unparalleled emotional intensity, awesome, amazing and great. For my taste, simply the best (I am not given to speak). I can never avoid getting emotional and shocked with his latest move, irresistible, gorgeous, supreme. I always end up crying. I hope you enjoy this musical gem, I sincerely believe that they will not feel cheated.
