Description:
A collection of four gems of Mahler recorded by Neumann from 1965-68 when he was music director of LGO. A true masterpiece filled with overwhelming power and beauty! Newly reissued from the original ETERNA analog tapes in Japan. World's first SACD release! Mastered only in the analog domain and directly converted to DSD! The latest reissue of ETERNA's original analog tapes in Japan, the 17th SACD hybridization box set of all four Mahler symphonies recorded by Wenceslas Neumann when he was music director of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. All were Neumann's first recordings, and were later reissued as the complete SUPRAPHON cycle with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra (reissued as SACD hybrids on the Tower Project disc TW1070 in 2020), and in his final years with Canyon Classics (Nos. 1-6, 9, reissued as SACD hybrids on the Exton The massive sound of the orchestra is rather better on these ETERNA recordings, and the beauty of Mahler's formative qualities, including a good sense of tempo, can be felt more clearly. The performance is also highly accomplished for its time, and the horns are played by Peter Dam before he moved to Staatskapelle Dresden, which shows the high level of LGO after the death of Konwitschny.The recordings show the sense of each engineer in capturing the sound image as a whole rather than focusing on the details. The ETERNA recordings are often underrated because they are compared to Neumann's later recordings, but they are valuable performances, including the recordings themselves. Neumann left the LGO in 1968 due to the Soviet invasion of Prague and became chief conductor of the Czech Philharmonic, so the recordings ended with the Seventh Symphony, but without that, the Mahler recordings might have continued. The recording of No. 7, made in May 1968, is especially valuable because it is the last recording of the two. The fact that these performances by Neumann, who was an early adopter of Mahler, have not been well received since the CD is not surprising, but the background of the recordings certainly makes them more interesting. The latest reissue allows us to see the performance in more detail and to feel the enthusiasm of Neumann and the other producers of the time. I hope that this reissue will further enhance the reputation of Neumann and the LGO of the time. (1/2)
