Dusseldorfer SymphonikerConductor
Adam FischerAbout
‘I am delighted to perform and record the complete symphonies of Gustav Mahler with the Dusseldorfer Symphoniker. The result, we hope, should be something special: a rendition that stems from an active collaboration in which we mutually inspire one another. This should not be “my” Mahler, but “our” Mahler... Gustav Mahler premiered his First Symphony at the age of 29. For personal reasons, I feel a close bond with that 29-year-old Musical Director of the Hungarian State Opera.
‘120 years later, I was named General Music Director of the same opera house. We both hastily abandoned the institution after 2˝ years. I would still like to relate a personal reminiscence of one of the performances of “my” First Symphony. The First Symphony was the first occasion I ever heard music by Mahler live on stage: in Vienna when I was nineteen years old, and the experience marked me for life.’
Reviews
This is a terrific account of Mahler’s fledgling symphony – full of the rashness and impetuosity of youth and the wild imaginings that go hand in hand with it. ... Adám Fischer has a nose for theatre, too, and one can imagine how long he and his engineers spent, for instance, getting the distancing of the offstage trumpets just right in the opening pages. ... This is shaping up to be the most idiomatic and exciting cycle of Mahler symphonies since Kubelík and Bernstein. Edward Seckerson
