Mahler
Symphony No. 1 in D "Titan"

Georg Solti
London Symphony Orchestra

Decca, 1964. 54'01"
96kHz 24-bit Super Digital Transfer

-------------------------------------------------

"The London Symphony Orchestra play Mahler's First like no other orchestra. They catch the magical opening, with its bird sounds and evocatively distanced brass, with a singular ambience, at least partly related to the orchestra's characteristic blend of wind timbres. Throughout there is wonderfully warm string-playing and the most atmospheric response from the horns. Solti's tendency to drive hard is felt only in the second movement, which is pressed a little too much, although he relaxes beautifully in the central section. Especially memorable are the poignancy of the introduction of the Frère Jacques theme in the slow movement and the exultant brilliance of the closing pages, helped by the wide range of dynamic and the wonderfully clear inner detail of the newly remastered, 1964 Kingsway Hall recording. This is another disc produced by John Culshaw which is rightly included among Decca's 'Legends'."
