coupling the two-year celebrations Mahler, is accurately captured the invasion of global initiatives dedicated musical-cultural-commercial event. To be fair, the invasion of the above is in progress now for two or three decades, with a continuous crescendo, the last part also encouraged by the proliferation of independent labels and so-called "down in the" orchestra of great renown International, who produce their own low-cost CDs and live concerts of them. The most active among them (I can think of the Chicago Symphony, the Concertgebouw in the Netherlands, the New York Philharmonic and the London Symphony) are readily equipped for the event, by embarking on many integrals to be delivered to posterity. That said, however, is that it lacks "homages" to our business related to the good old strand, the Pittsburgh Symphony, for example, being rather far from the fame of the orchestras mentioned above, has had to seek a contract "old way", now afforded it by the Japanese Exton, whose production has so far stood out for the particular difficulty of finding (now it's finally arrived via sales Amazon) and the marked predilection for the repertoire Mahler. It will therefore be to deploy the full Exton currently under construction in that of Pittsburgh, whose management is entrusted to the current principal conductor of the orchestra, the Austrian Manfred Honeck. These already violin Wiener Philharmoniker in a row in the years when his brother Rainer it was instead the concertmaster, has seen his career take off conducting the threshold of fifty, the office in Pittsburgh, recently extended until 2015, recording the harmony gained with orchestra and audience there. After listening to the first, it can certainly bless the decision taken by the parties. Since its inception, the direction of Honeck is attentive to highlight the richness of the score, bringing to light touch of refinement, of rare beauty and effectiveness, all without losing sight of structure and unity of the "story" of music, always alive and kicking . Exemplary in this regard the second movement, with this "acceleration" that still gives the initial momentum to the rustic peasant dance that characterizes the Scherzo, and what about the magic of Trio, the more dreamy in contrast with the rough energy of the events that precede and follow it. And when the going gets tough (read the fourth movement, Stürmisch bewegt), orchestra and conductor did not disappoint, accompanying the symphony to its blazing conclusion granted without frills or voltage drops.
short, a Mahler First with controfiocchi, the kind that make you conclude that the history of interpretation is yet to be written and that even "outsiders" it will definitely be a part.
