Album insights
A celebrated release, Claudio Abbado's "Mahler 5" with the Berlin Philharmonic is now available on vinyl for the first time. Abbado's iconic recording of "Mahler 5," featured in the recent film TÁR, serves as an inspiration and a personal favorite of Todd Field, the director of TÁR. Known for his passionate interpretation of Mahler, Abbado's recordings have become benchmarks, with the 5th Symphony alongside his Berlin Philharmonic being a standout highlight. This 2-LP Gatefold Vinyl Set is pressed on 180gm vinyl by Optimal. As Gramophone noted, "Conductor and orchestra are right inside the spirit and sound of this score... Only a few manage to grasp the subtext, and Abbado is one of them."
