It has been quite a while since I have listened to this one but my memory of it has not diminished in that it is so very different from any other treatment of this work that I have heard....

I will have to finish my journey through Seventh Heaven before I revisit that recording: now that's something to look forward to.

well, it was about time I actually made this purchase!!

further to Paul & Pepe's recommendation...



Piano Sonata in B minor...

superb performance.. !!

Gustav Mahler
Symphony No. 7
Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunk
Rafael Kubelik - conducting.

Gustav Mahler
Symphony No. 7
Philharmonia Orchestra
Giuseppe Sinopoli - conducting.

It takes Sinopoli and the Philharmonia more than 87 minutes to perform this work, but it doesn't drag, it is a lovely, thoughtful and powerful performance of this magnificent symphony.
I should have bought Sinopoli's Mahler cycle. I wonder if any member has a copy of Sinopoli's Mahler box set and if you do what do you make of it?

I have it and I find it consistently enjoyable, with an individual perspective on the works, but not in an annoying way. I must pull out No. 7 and listen to it again!

Thanks Ciaran, I listened to the Seventh again today and I do really like Sinopoli's approach to it, I must seek out the rest of his cycle.

^^ I just have Sinopoli's 8 and 10 Adagio which I've always rated as being a convincing performance, but can't comment further.
