Mahler 7 - Bernstein ODP 1981


 


Every Mahlerian recording by Bernstein is important, but in this case we add the interest of the unusual French timbre for a Mahlerian conductor that we know above all in American, Dutch and Viennese interpretations: the result is very particular and suggestive, especially in the three central movements.

Thank you for this extraordinary document. Superb interpretation, aided especially by the OdP winds, who still retained a trace of traditional Gallic tartness. Bernstein's live French recordings are some of the best in his entire discography. The live Shostakovich 5 on Altus with the ORTF, for example, blows his studio NYPO version out of the water! Anyway, thank you again for sharing this, Guido!

Thank you for this document. Here Leonard Bernstein had replaced Kirill Kondrashin who should have conducted this concert but he had died the previous March.
