This recording of Mahler’s Ninth Symphony is an event, because it was made with period instruments of the kind the composer used in Vienna. The Mahler Academy Orchestra set itself the task of reconstructing this instrumentarium and researching how musicians of the time played it: ‘We were struck during our rehearsals by the incredibly distinctive characterisation of the woodwinds, the shattering blare of the brass, the perfect balance between the instruments, and the pure and warm sound of the strings. . . They took Mahler’s brilliant orchestration to yet another level’, says Philipp Von Steinaecker, artistic director of this ambitious ‘Originalklang’ (original sound) project and conductor of this orchestra, which brings some fifty young musicians into contact with the finest instrumentalists from the world’s leading formations (Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Budapest Festival Orchestra, Staatskapelle Dresden, Wiener Symphoniker etc.). Together they made this historic recording in Dobbiaco-Toblach in Italy, where Mahler composed his monumental symphony in 1909, two years before his death.

Sounds just awful
wonderful i ve waited for a mahler like this
David Hurwitz already told was needed to be said about this travesty. To many second and third rate "conductors" try to make a career out of this mess. PS: Why don't they record like in beginning of first half of the 20th century on shellac? They should also wear costumes from the 1900'
Great to see Marinus Komst, former Concertgebouw timpanist.
Das ganz nützlich für eins meiner Projekte 🙂
The Mahler 9th recording no one asked for. 😎🎹
the string playing is really strange but rather interesting – Mahler writes clear requests for portamentos a great deal in this score but these players are applying portamenti almost everywhere, even the opening major 2nd F#-E is a slide!
Just following the hype of 'authenticity' to sell and make a name. This performance is one big LIE.
Quite cool. I wonder what say Rachmaninoff's 2nd symphony would sound like on these instruments. Maybe a little more transparent, compared to the thicker sounds of today.
Why?
Can’t imagine they found money for this type of project, please feed the homeless do something better than this
Listen to the 1938 Bruno Walter / Vienna Phil live recording of the Mahler 9. Listen to the solos of Arnold Rose(Mahler’s brother-in-law). Here you will hear the closest and most reliable Mahler sound. Vibrato was definitely employed. Such experiment though interesting are not definitive.
This is farcical nonsense.
I always wanted this kind of project! Cool and good… kind of reminds me of Norrington
Ridiculous sound, especially in brass and woodwinds…
