GUSTAV MAHLER Symphony No.5 Orchestre National de l'ORTF, Hermann Scherchen

An opera for orchestra.
At the centre of his great orchestral works, the Fifth Symphony marks Mahler’s return to a purely orchestral concept. And yet the voice seems implicitly present in a movement like the famous Adagietto, made familiar throughout the world by Visconti’s film Death in Venice. It is a work that measures up to the stature of Hermann Scherchen, one of the legendary conductors of the 20th century.

This title was released for the first time in 1988.
