Großer Saal

The Austrian composer and conductor Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) brought the traditional genre of the symphony into the 20th century. Today his works form the standard repertoire of every major orchestra. The Fifth is one of the most popular and most played Mahler symphonies; The fourth movement "Adagietto" became known far beyond the world of classical music as film music in Luchino Visconti's "Death in Venice".

Leonard Bernstein was the first conductor to record all of Gustav Mahler's symphonies not only on disc but also on video. The recordings, made between 1971 and 1985 for the most part with the Vienna Philharmonic, are not only a unique musical document, but also contributed to a new understanding of Mahler's work.

"All Mahler symphonies, all Mahler works by the way, are full of extremes. Extremes in dynamics, in tempo, in emotional meaning. If the music is bare, then it is very bare; if it is dense and powerful, it is denser and more powerful than the Götterdämmerung as a whole; when it suffers, it suffers as has never been suffered in music." (Leonard Bernstein)

This recording was made in April 1972 in the Vienna Musikvereinssaal.
