Vinyl:
Gustav Mahler’s worlds

Now on LP: The complete Symphonies with the Berliner Philharmoniker.

The edition brings together Berliner Philharmoniker recordings from the last ten years. It includes the nine completed symphonies and the Adagio of the Tenth, whose performance under the direction of Claudio Abbado on the 100th anniversary of Mahler’s death is one of the highlights. In addition to chief conductor Kirill Petrenko and his predecessor Sir Simon Rattle, the edition features other outstanding Mahler interpreters closely associated with the orchestra: Gustavo Dudamel, Bernard Haitink, Daniel Harding, Andris Nelsons and Yannick Nézet-Séguin.

The recordings in the edition are on 17 LPs (180g vinyl). The extensive booklet contains introductions to the individual symphonies plus in-depth essays by Stephen Johnson and Barbara Vinken. The design of the high-quality box was created in collaboration with the renowned American artist Robert Longo: almost unrecognisable, the images feature photorealistic charcoal drawings of celestial bodies. Arranged into a square, the LP sleeves 1-16 form the image of the sun, measuring 120x120 cm. Pressed on blue vinyl, LP 17 (Symphony No. 10) stands out from the others.
