International Record Review’s Outstanding Recording
'This is a magnificent performance in every respect. The orchestral playing is consistently of the highest quality, individually and collectively, the musicians clearly inspired by the insight and total conviction of their conductor. No one can afford to ignore this record.'‘I found myself truly enjoying and very much impressed by a Gergiev conducted performance. The recording of the Fifth captures most of the excitement of the live event. Among SACDs, this is a worthy contender.’

Valery Gergiev, London Symphony Orchestra
Mahler’s Fifth Symphony marked a new direction in his compositions and a step away from the choral elements of the previous three symphonies. The work was completed during one of the happiest periods of Mahler’s life, and the symphony showcases virtuosic orchestral playing, an exquisite love song without words for his wife Alma, and a jubilant finale.
