About

Symphony No. 10: Prepared by Deryck Cooke, in collaboration with Berthold Goldschmidt, Colin Matthews and David Matthews.

Using the well-known realisation by Deryck Cooke, Gianandrea Noseda and the BBC Philharmonic here present a new studio recording of Mahler’s Tenth Symphony, which followed their performance at the 2007 Proms.

Mahler’s deeply personal Tenth Symphony deals with death, redemption, and salvation and is seen by many as a farewell to life. Left as a single Adagio plus fragments of four further movements, it was realised for performance by the Mahler / Bruckner expert Deryck Cooke and premiered at the Proms in 1964. Cooke called his realisation ‘a performing version of the draft for the Tenth Symphony’ and was always concerned to stress that it was in no sense a completion, since only Mahler himself could have completed the work. Symphony No. 10 has since become an established part of the repertoire alongside Mahler’s completed symphonies.

Gianandrea Noseda and the BBC Philharmonic have performed Mahler’s symphonies on many occasions, and it has been noted that Noseda ‘conducts with breathtaking dynamism’ (The Guardian). This is the first time that their interpretation of a Mahler symphony has been preserved on disc.
