Gustav Mahler and Related Discussions / 115th anniversary of the M8 premier

I believe the opening organ blast began at 8:15pm Munich time on 12 Sep 1910.  At 2:15pm here on the east coast of the US I'll be blasting a recording of my choosing.

Oh neat, they have the tracks up for preview now.

Holy smokes... 16 tracks for a recording of Mahler 1? They're really capitalizing on those per-track streaming royalties, huh?

A Japanese critic commented on the performance,

'A truly flowing and cogent performance, with the conductor's message clearly expressed.'

The acoustics of the Sumida Triphony Hall, Tokyo is excellent based on their recording of M9th made at the same venue on June 9, 2000. It is quite comparable to Suntory Hall. This M7th was recorded on April 8, 2000.

No timings given. Any idea how this concert hall records, as opposed to Suntory Hall?

I'll wait until they get to the M2 or M3 before I purchase a hard copy. The sound quality is really good here - much better than on the M5.

Profil has been acting as thier 'in-house' label, but I'm not sure Profil still exists or not.

They did M2 and 3 this spring, too. Gatti doesn't have a contract with any label. Does Dresden have an in-house label?

Presto has the listing for the second installment in Paavo Järvi's Mahler cycle with the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich on the Alpha label. Its release date is slated for October 31, 2025.

https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/9810960--mahler-symphony-no-1

I really liked the Fifth from last year (or was it this year?), so I'm looking forward to this. The product description on Presto reinforces that this is going to be a complete cycle.

"Paavo Järvi and the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich present the second volume of their complete Mahler Symphonies, with his First Symphony, known as the 'Titan' in reference to the eponymous novel by the poet Jean-Paul that Mahler greatly admired. Although he abandoned this title three years after the symphony's premiere in 1893, the symphony has, like many of Mahler’s works, 'a clearly programmatic character' according to Paavo Järvi: 'Mahler was a composer who was truly able to explore the inner world of human beings and to question what goes on inside us.'"
