Mahler: Symphony No 5 (2lp Set)

Leonard Bernstein

The 1987 recording of Gustav Mahler's 5th Symphony, performed by the Vienna Philharmonic under the baton of Leonard Bernstein, is considered by many critics to be a landmark in the history of the piece's interpretation. "Fiery, demonic and triumphant, this recording is a standard work among Bernstein's recordings" wrote the British magazine Grammophone. Without doubt one of the most important recordings in Bernstein's conducting career and to this day one of his most successful productions on Deutsche Grammophon, the recording is reissued here as a 2LP set on 180g vinyl. Reviews Stereoplay 11/1988: "The reproduction is of unheard-of transparency. Even middle voices, which otherwise tend to be drowned out, come out vividly. The almost chamber-musical transparency of the almost chamber music-like transparency of the Scherzo of the Fifth, for example, is admirable.""
