Mahler: Symphonies Nos. 7 and 8

Gustav Mahler’s Seventh and Eighth Symphonies continues the issuance of the complete, acclaimed Mahler cycle with Paavo Jrvi and the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, which since the 1980s and the release of Eliahu Inbal’s FRSO Mahler cycle has come to be known as a “powerful Mahler orchestra” (Frankfurter Rundschau).As on previous releases, conductor Paavo Jrvi’s learned and probing introductions to the symphonies heard on the accompanying release are a worthy and self-recommending bonus feature. “The Estonian chief conductor is completing the Mahler Cycle at the highest level.” FAZ (Sym No. 7)” The selection of soloists is cause for celebration.” Frankfurter Rundschau (Sym No. 8)
