Theodor W. Adorno regarded Mahlers Symphony No. 9 as the first work of modern music. Adornos teacher, Alban Berg, saw in it the expression of a tremendous love for this world, a longing to live in peace and to savor Nature to its depths before the arrival of Death. For it will inevitably come. This live recording of the composers last completed symphony is part of an ongoing Leipzig cycle of Mahlers symphonies. It confirms once more the Gewandhaus Orchestras reputation as an exemplary ensemble for the performance of Mahlers music. The highest level of performance culture combined with a sharply contoured, transparent, polished, and detailed manner of playing, plus infectious verve and an unmistakable sound characterized by a darkly golden color these are qualities responsible for the Gewandhaus Orchestras international reputation. Since the time of Bruno Walter, the orchestra has developed over the years a deep understanding of the works of Gustav Mahler, which in their collaboration with Riccardo Chailly has been continued.

Review:
"The most amazing Mahler 9 bluray to date! Very rarely does a disc come out that so completely and decisively blows away the competition! Chailly and his Leipzig band take no prisoners with this Mahler 9!

Haitink is predictably stolid and unexciting with the Concertgebouw, and Abbado with the Lucerne is fussy and lugubrious in the wonderful Adagio. He also gets gimmicky by turning down the lights during this last movement. This music speaks for itself - it doesn't need visual aids. Barenboim has a good version on DVD, but it's not on bluray. I like both the Lucerne and Amsterdam orchestras, but this Leipzig group is really something. Chailly wrings every last ounce of effort and instrumental expertise out of these players, and is aided and abetted by the best surround sound recording I have ever heard - and I've heard some really good ones. It is absolutely stunning - every instrumental section is exposed in almost a chamber music manner - but the sheer force of this orchestra has to heard to be believed (and make sure you play this disc at high volume!)

The video and sound quality are non-pareil, including the editing, which always manages to land attention on the right player. Stunning!

Chailly' Mahler series has been excellent throughout, with only 1,3,7 and 10 to go. #7 is next to be released. This is truly bel-canto Mahler, especially in the great Adagio. Chailly has always been a balletic conductor, totally caught up in the music, and here he sways back and forth, up and down, and it actually adds to the experience. The andante comodo first movement, with its mood changes and furious onslaughts presents many pitfalls to undisciplined and underqualified conductors ( of which there are many). Chailly avoids all these traps, and the whole thing is held together as one organism. I have never heard the timpani brought to the fore with such explosiveness before. The Landler second movement is played quite briskly. In fact, it sounds like what Rossini would have sounded like had he written a landler dance - none of your foot-stomping Austrian peasants here! Brilliantly executed! The Rondo is a real barnburner, also played quite quickly, but what a virtuoso performance from these players! This is a real in-your- face version, and you'll definitely have a big grin on your face at the very noisy end of it. Now to the true climax of this piece, the Adagio. Considering that Bruno Walter, who knew Mahler, and made the first recording of this piece in 1938, took 17 minutes to play it, I have always been wary of these self-important conductors who seem to be in competition with each other to see who can do it the slowest. Even Abbado, who should have known better, took almost 30 minutes. This music is supposed to flow, not be a succession of episodes. Fortunately, Chailly gets closer to the ideal than most, taking 24 minutes, and making it sound like the affirmation of life that it is, not the more commonly played dirge.

I have now played this disc four times in less than a week, which I never do with a new bluray. It's that good! I really doubt that this will be equaled, let alone surpassed, any time soon. As a bonus, there is an interesting conversation between Chailly and Henry-Louis de LA Grange, who wrote the definitive Mahler biography." - Clive S. Goodwin
