About
The so-called 1960s “Mahler renaissance” was launched in New York by Leonard Bernstein, and his epoch-making cycle of the Mahler symphonies has remained a catalogue benchmark. As ClassicsToday.com observed in 2009, “these first versions have lost none of their freshness or sense of discovery... they are irreplaceable, and incomparable.” Newly re-mastered as an ORIGINAL is Bernstein’s New York Philharmonic recording of the Fifth Symphony.

After a somewhat unsteady opening trumpet solo, Bernstein pulls out all the stops in the earlier movements. But this performance isn't as emotionally overwhelming as his Vienna Philharmonic version on DG.
