Mahler: Symphony No. 7 In E Minor / Jansons

Jansons, Mariss; Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra

A world-class orchestra, one of the most important conductors of our time and a concert hall whose unsurpassed acoustics enjoy a legendary reputation: all the parameters are right in this Mahler recording! Mariss Jansons, the former chief conductor of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, has begun a Mahler cycle during his tenure but has not completed it. However, he now plans to do so as a guest conductor, and so probably all Jansons fans cheer for the prospect of being able to accept yet another consummate Jansons-Mahler cycle from Amsterdam. Mahler's Seventh takes on a central importance in the composer’s repertoire. The composer himself considered this one of his very best compositions. The Royal Concertgeouw Orchestra has, since the Dutch premiere of this Mahler symphony, been an uninterrupted Mahler tradition that makes it one of the few truly authentic "Mahler orchestras".
