Mahler (1860-1911)

Description:

Cambrelin & Yomiuri Symphony Orchestra's matured period, the all-out Mahler No. 9! The supreme Mara 9, which should be remembered as the overwhelming achievement of both conductors, is now happily available on CD. Cambrelin's conducting is filled with all possible expression, and the orchestra responds wonderfully to the music with a great sense of refinement. This is an unprecedented performance that combines tension and heavenly beauty, allowing the listener to savor every inch of the dense symphony that Mahler wrote to the fullest extent of his compositional skill. The audience's concentration was so great that you could feel the audience watching with bated breath as the melody was dismantled and silently faded away in the closing section. ＜Sylvain Cambourin, born in 1948 in Amiens, France, is a master conductor who has built a number of masterpieces as the Yomiuri Symphony Orchestra's permanent conductor from 2010 to March 2019, and will become the Yomiuri Symphony Orchestra's laureate conductor in April 2019.
