Lorin Maazel leads the Philharmonia Orchestra and a star-studded ensemble of performers in Mahler's first three Symphonies. This is the first set in a series that will encompass Mahler's Nine Symphonies, featuring live orchestral recordings, from London's Royal Festival Hall, of Maazel and the Philharmonia's much-lauded Mahler Cycle.
"What a ride it's been; a wilful First, a splendid Second and now an incandescent Third. Make no mistake, for all his faults - perceived or otherwise - this octogenarian conductor is a Mahlerian of considerable consequence...Huge contrasts, great rewards; a cycle to watch." (MusicWeb)
