Symphonies 1-9

Description

The complete symphonies of Mahler by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Bychkov, published by PENTATONE, brings together one of Europe's most prestigious orchestras and a conductor internationally recognized for his mastery of the work and his interpretative integrity. The Orchestra holds a special place in the Mahlerian universe, both geographically and culturally: Mahler was born and grew up in Bohemia and composed his first symphony shortly after a year-long stay in Prague. Mahler's symphonies have been at the heart of Bychkov's programming with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra since 2018, when he began his tenure as conductor and music director with a performance of Symphony No. 2. Symphonies No. 1 to 5, published by PENTATONE from April 2022, have been unanimously praised by critics. These recordings have been named "Editor's Choice" by Gramophone and "Recording of the Month" by BBC Music Magazine. As the Sunday Times writes: "This is one of the greatest recordings of Mahler."
