What makes Claudio Abbado’s Mahler performance so remarkable in this release is that their impact is never achieved at the expense of multiple sensitivities, subtleties and extreme sophistication.

Mahler’s Fourth Symphony and Schoenberg’s Pelleas and Melisande are performed by one of the world’s leading youth orchestras: The Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra.

Included is an introduction to Schoenberg’s Pelleas and Melisande by Alberica Archinto and Elli Stern, offering fascinating insights into this unparalleled composition.

“Together with conductor Claudio Abbado, the cream of young European musicians who make up this outstanding orchestra infused the symphony with a luminosity that glowed with an inner brilliance.” - La Stampa
