The Symphony No. 2 \"Resurrection\" and the Symphony No. 8 \"Symphony of a Thousand\" were filmed at the International Mahler Festival held on home ground in Leipzig in May 2011 to mark the centenary of the composer's death.\n\n- Chailly returns to Mahler for the first time since his Concertgebouw cycle\nIn the cycle Chailly completed as chief conductor of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, No. 2 was taped in November 2001 and No. 8 in January 2000, so these are re-recordings made ten and eleven years later respectively. With the Leipzig orchestra he has also released the Schumann symphonies in Mahler's re-orchestrations, and expectations are high for a partnership in such good form in its sixth year.\n\n- Mahler recordings by the Gewandhaus Orchestra\nFor all its distinguished history, which reaches back to the middle of the eighteenth century and takes in a great many premieres, the orchestra has surprisingly few Mahler recordings to its name.\nNo. 1: Markevitch (live, March 1982)\nNo. 5: Neumann (studio, January 1966)\nNo. 6: Neumann (studio, January 1966)\nNo. 7: Neumann (studio, May 1968); Masur (studio, September 1982)\nNo. 9: Neumann (studio, November 1967)\nNo. 10, Adagio: Sebastian (studio, 1963)\nLieder eines fahrenden Gesellen: Lorenz (baritone), Masur (studio, January 1979)\nKindertotenlieder: Lorenz (baritone), Masur (studio, January 1979)\nBoth the Second and the Eighth are new to the orchestra's official commercial discography. In the Eighth in particular, the visual dimension - simply seeing forces on this scale assembled - matters a great deal, which makes the release on film valuable in itself.\n\n- On the cover artwork\nThe covers use oil paintings by the contemporary German artist Neo Rauch (b. 1960). Through a collaboration between the Leipzig label Accentus Music and Rauch, a native of the city, the canvas Chor was painted specially for the Eighth Symphony after the artist attended rehearsals in May 2011. For the Second, an earlier Rauch design, Dawn, was chosen.\nKing International\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Accentus Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595653374241,"sku":"4260234830170","price":5990.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4260234830170.jpg?v=1790482127","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4260234830170","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
