Description
As Riccardo Chailly points out, The Fifth begins with a dark, gloomy, and tragic tone, but then is enlivened in the Scherzo and Adagietto, and eventually ends with a more positive character in the Finale - perhaps for the last time in Mahler's life. The Adagietto is a revelation, a spiritual oasis. It is not an expression of pain, but rather Mahler's declaration of love to Alma - a song without words." With the Gewandhaus Orchestra, Chailly gives the piece an unsurpassed intensity of sound and emotional expression. He achieves a compelling arc of tension in which the symphony's unique fascination unfolds. The Wiener Zeitung characterized Chailly's interpretation as "impressive with powerful and unreserved intensity."Picture Format Blu-ray: NTSC 16:9, Full HDSound Formats Blu-ray: DTS HD Master Audio, PCM StereoRegion Code: 0 (worldwide) Running Time: 73:37 minLanguages Bonus: Deutsch, English, Japanese (tbc), Korean (tbc) Disc Format: BD 25"
