Our Take

The Philharmonia Orchestra, under the baton of the legendary Otto Klemperer, takes on Mahler's Symphony No. 2 with all the gusto and gravitas you'd expect from such a powerhouse pairing. From the haunting opening bars to the triumphant finale, this performance is nothing short of monumental.

Klemperer's direction is masterful, bringing out the nuances and complexities of Mahler's score with a precision that is truly awe-inspiring. The orchestra, for their part, plays with a level of cohesion and unity that is a joy to behold. The string section in particular shines, their lush, velvety tones adding an extra layer of richness to the already sumptuous sound.

The vocal soloists, soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and mezzo-soprano Christa Ludwig, bring a deep emotional resonance to their respective roles, their voices blending seamlessly with the orchestra to create moments of sheer magic. Schwarzkopf's soaring soprano soars above the orchestra with an ethereal beauty, while Ludwig's earthier mezzo adds a grounding presence to the mix.

Overall, this recording of Mahler's Symphony No. 2 is a triumph. It's a true feast for the ears, a masterclass in orchestral playing, and a testament to the enduring power of Mahler's music. Bravo, Klemperer and the Philharmonia Orchestra - you've truly outdone yourselves with this one.
