Mahler – Symphony No. 9 / Iván Fischer, Budapest Festival Orchestra / Channel Classics Audio CD 2015 / CCS SA 36115

UPC 723385361152

 

Symphony No. 9 by Gustav Mahler was written between 1908 and 1909, and was the last symphony that he completed. It is actually his tenth symphonic work, as Mahler gave no ordinal number to his symphonic song-cycle Das Lied von der Erde. A typical performance takes about 75 to 90 minutes. A survey of conductors voted Mahler's Symphony No. 9 the fourth greatest symphony of all time in a ballot conducted by BBC Music Magazine in 2016.

Though the work is often described as being in the key of D major, the tonal scheme of the symphony as a whole is progressive. While the opening movement is in D major, the finale is in D major.

Everything snaps into focus...its as if Mahlers black-and-white classic has been colorized... the Channel Classics issue is in a very special class, a sonic dazzler... a potential award-winner.
--Gramophone

[A] spectacular recording... a real winner. --Stereophile Magazine

A Mahler Ninth thats not to be missed.
-- 9/10, ClassicsToday

This interesting and incisive performance by Ivan Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra makes this SACD something worth talking about. The playing is precise, yet filled with the emotion the 9th requires. --4 Stars, Audiophile Audition

Arguably the best-recorded Mahler Ninth ever... [it] challenges many of the received ideas about the music...Its hard to explain how a performance this coherent and transparent can at the same time be so edge-of-your-seat compelling.
-- Bay Area Reporter

The fourth-movement Adagio, including well-blended strings, proves the beating heart of the entire work, with the maestro sensitively allowing its elegiac voice to speak with world-weary resignation until its final, dying notes. --4 Stars, Winnipeg Free Press
