Search - Gustav Mahler, Neeme Jarvi, Royal Scottish Orchestra :: Mahler: Symphony No. 3 / Kindertotenlieder

Neeme Järvi's Mahler Third is very respectful of the composer's intentions, and also very excitingly played and recorded. The Scottish National Orchestra has a terrific brass section, critical in this of all symphonies, with its major solos for trumpet, trombone, and horn. The coupling, a good but not great performance of the Kindertotenlieder, makes a nice bonus, but it's the symphony that's really outstanding. --David Hurwitz
