Synopsis

Amazon.com

The Gustav Mahler boom has largely obscured Eliahu Inbal's achievement as an exponent of the composer's music. His Mahler cycle is one of the very best--far better than Abbado, Solti, Haitink, or about half a dozen others than come readily to mind. Not only does he respond to the composer's idiom with complete faithfulness, he's got an excellent orchestra paying close attention to the composer's every whim. He's particularly impressive in the finale of this symphony--a true culmination for once. Denon's recordings set a new standard for Mahler's music, being at once highly detailed and completely natural. Don't pass this one up. --David Hurwitz

CD Reviews

Much better than I expected!

10/27/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"As a great fan of the Bernstein recordings (both young and old) of the Mahler Symphonies, I was initially a bit skeptical and reluctant to check out this recording. But once I did, I was very much pleasantly surprised. Inbal's rendition of Mahler's most meandering symphony is clean and focused. It is far superior to the Abbado recording and in some parts even surpasses the Bernstein recording. Its only fault may be that it is almost a little too smooth at times. Still, if you are looking for a great rendition of this piece, look no further - this may be one of the best out there!"

Awesome!

"This is certainly one of the top performances of this symphony ever. Inbal is a great interpreter of Mahler without question. He brings out the music's power with both a keen ear for detail and style and a true sense of expressiveness. The Frankfurt Radio Symphony plays marvelously and the numerous solos are done expertly and beautifully. Denon's recorded sound is also excellent. Inbal's recording of Mahler's 5th is also just as if not more insightful, so be sure to check that one out as well."

An excellent 3rd but....

"Inbal's account of the 3rd is probably (along with his 7th) the peak of his Mahler cycle for Denon. The playing from the orchestra is excellent as is the singing from Doris Soffel. I don't give 5 stars because I find that it doesn't reach the perfection of Horenstein's account for Unicorn, although it's one of the best alternatives to it."
