Wiener Philharmoniker | KlassikAkzente by STAGE+

Mahler symphonies still arouse our emotions like few others, with their unique sense of loss and radiant affirmation. Newly — and  completely — coupled together here on only 11 CDs to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Mahler’s birth, Bernstein’s acclaimed 1980s cycle — “a personal statement by one great musician on another” (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs) — was recorded with three virtuoso orchestras, in which Bernstein “finds the universal in Mahler’s exquisite, often tortured self-consciousness” (Time Magazine).
