Riccardo Chailly with Mahler's First: Miracles of Music History
Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 1 is one of the incomprehensible wonders of music history. Rigorously strange, disturbingly new and timelessly modern, this music is. "Like a natural sound" is written over the first notes of the symphony. It is both "resolution" and key to Mahler's symphonies as a whole.
His music captures this sound of the world, transforms it into symphonic music in the old, comprehensive sense of the word, and uses it to create his works of art of "sounding together" in the symphonic sense. From marches with military connotations to folk songs, dance and light music to animal sounds: Everything has its place in Mahler's world symphonies.
Written in Leipzig within just a few months in early 1888, Mahler's Symphony No. 1 is a true musical departure. Riccardo Chailly and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra brought Mahler's natural sound painting to life in a riveting performance at the Gewandhaus zu Leipzig in January 2015. This recording is a document of this outstanding concert event.
