Mahler: Symphony No. 5 in C sharp minor

Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich, David Zinman

This is the fifth release in David Zinman & Tonhalle Zurich’s Mahler Symphony cycle, which is set to be complete by 2010.

Having completed several cycles, among them the complete Beethoven symphonies (with over 1 million copies sold internationally), the orchestral works of R. Strauss and Schumann, in 2007 the orchestra embarked on this Mahler Symphony cycle.

“[Zinman's] chamber-music approach that worked well for the earlier symphonies seems less appropriate here, where Mahler's contrapuntal mastery of the orchestra as a whole reaches its zenith.” Matthew Rye, The Telegraph, 13th September 2008
