Bernstein's acclaimed Mahler cycle Now in this specially priced 11-CD set with a new booklet essay by Nick Kimberley.
Mahler symphonies still arouse our emotions like few others, with their unique sense of loss and radiant affirmation. Newly - and completely - coupled together here on only 11 CDs to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Mahler's birth. Bernstein's acclaimed cycle - "a personal statement by one great musician on another" (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs) - was recorded with three virtuoso orchestras, in which Bernstein "finds the universal in Mahler's exquisite, often tortured self-consciousness." (Time Magazine). Sung texts and translations available through weblink.
A DG Collector's Edition super-budget priced set of 11 CDs.
