Even though the Mahler boom hadn’t yet arrived, Japanese audiences have been learning about Mahler from Inbal for over 30 years since then! This 1979 live performance remains a legendary, transcendent masterpiece that is still talked about today. This iconic recording, which has only been released once before, is being reissued for the first time in 16 years!\nThe history of performances of Mahler’s Ninth Symphony in Japan is relatively short. Since its premiere in 1967 by Kondrashin and the Moscow Philharmonic in 1967, this performance by Inbal and the Japan Philharmonic undoubtedly ranks among the most significant in Japan’s performance history, alongside the extraordinary 1970 performance by Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic and the equally legendary 1985 performance with the Israel Philharmonic. Moreover, considering that it was performed with a Japanese orchestra—and that it took place only a little over a decade after the Japanese premiere—this performance can truly be called the crowning achievement in the history of Mahler performances in Japan. As a performance by a Japanese orchestra that predates the Mahler boom, it is a fascinating record in that regard as well.\nDetails regarding Inbal’s guest conducting engagement at that time are provided in full in the booklet’s liner notes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COLUMBIA X TOWER RECORDS\/The Valued Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53539288154401,"sku":"4988001742012","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4988001742012.jpg?v=1789971136","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4988001742012","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
