CD Reviews

A clean, well played, well recorded Mahler first
RLB | California | 11/11/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Inbal's pioneering MAHLER cycle on Denon is overall very well played with the first, fifth and seventh well worth having in any Mahler collection. Orchestral textures are clean, details emerge cleary without undue emphasis during climaxes. Tempos are well chosen. Given the bargain price, this is one of the digital Mahler firsts that still sounds fresh some twenty plus years on. Many Mahler collectors have several firsts, me included, this one is an easy recommendation for recording quality, even keel tempos, beautiful orchestral tone and a wide dynamic range."
Fresh, Solid, Brilliant

"These were the three remarks I had to put in my mind when I was listening to this recording of Mahler's first symphony ("The Titan") with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra under Maestro Eliaju Imbal.Personally, it is also one of my favorite recordings of the Mahler symphonies under Inbal, along with the Fourth, the Fifth, and the Seventh. He's also my favorite Mahlerian figure above all the rest, except for, of course, the iconic (and not to mention whom had given Inbal a recommendation for a scholarship at a music conservatory,) Leonard Bernstein.The second movement is the key reason I really love this recording. As opposed to most other performances, it's a bit faster and much lighter and smoother; even the low string instruments doesn't seem to sound rough as if they're trudging in mud. The most graceful second movement I know. That's my personal pro. My personal con would have to be a bit bland and straightforeward in the beginning of the fourth movement. Great but not as nail-biting as the Sony Bernstein one.But these are just my opinions... I guarantee you that it's (at least)... fresh, solid, and brilliant. Overall an excellent performance. You won't be disappointed."
