Mahler: Symphony No. 1 - Wiener Philharmoniker; Lorin Maazel
A Masterful Performance - This performance of Mahler's first symphony must rank among the interpretations of Walter, Bernstein, Horenstein, all great Mahler conducters. Lorin Maazel's tempos are always intriguing, at times slower than the norm, other times, faster. Never a dull moment in this, or any of the other Mahler Symphonies recorded by Maazel with the Vienna Philharmonic on their 150th Anniversary. Regarding the orchestra itself, it must be the ultimate Mahler orchestra, the string sections a perfect example of musical warmth and the brass a terrific example of power. If you can find the entire set as it was released originally, as 14 Compact Discs, please buy it, the performances are worthy of the extra money. If you cannot find it, purchase the symphonies separately as Sony re-releases them. Definitely worth it for these amazing performances.
One of the finest recordings of Mahler's 1st Symphony
Although I think better performances of Mahler's 1st Symphony are available with Abbado, Bernstein, and Boulez conducting, this fine recording does deserve recognition as one of the finest recordings of this symphony. Without question, it should be regarded as one of the highlights of Lorin Maazel's Mahler symphony cycle with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Never have I heard the strings play with such lush warmth as I have heard from the Vienna Philharmonic's string section. They play with ample warmth without losing any technical perfection. Similar comparisons can be made for the orchestra's brass section too. Maazel's tempos seem right, and he doesn't give as exuberant a reading of Mahler's score as others, most notably Bernstein, have been accused of. Sony's sound engineers have produced yet another superbly well-balanced recording. If you like Maazel's reading of Mahler's 1st Symphony, you should also enjoy his Sony recording of Mahler's 4th Symphony.
