Symphony No.9. PG*** 'An extremely fine issue of the Mahler Ninth; the orchestra puts across the work with tremendous punch, and the string playing in the finale is a dream.

Symphony No.9 [2 CD SET]. PG*** "Bernstein's 9th, made live in 1979, was the solitary occasion when Bernstein was permitted to conduct Karajan's BPO and the response is electric, with playing not only radiant and refined but also deeply expressive in direct repsonse to the conductor. Highly spontaneous, with measured speeds superbly sustained in a tautly concentrated reading." |
