 Rating:  - Very moving interpretationI am learning a chorist partition right now for our concert on March 15 2008 in Quebec City where we will be more than a thousand to sing the Symphonie (no 8) of the thousand : I can appreciate from inside the degree of difficulty of that masterpiece, I have heard 3 different interpretations (none executed by a thousand chorists and musicians though) And this one by Bernstein brought me to tears at 3 different moments...

It's hard to believe that the fabled Vienna Philharmonic, who's dislike of Mahler is almost as legendary as their string section, is playing these utterly moving works with such distinction. True, a lot of the effort has to be laid at the feet of Lenny Bernstein, who's highly emotional response to these intruiging scores is really quite appropriate, but if an orchestra is not capable of playing it, you are left with nothing. Not the case here. First, the ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
