I have to say that the performance is impeccable from the bass drum to the tuba and everything in between. BUT it is a British take of a Austrian composer of a symphony that was only in its sketch form with no real indication of what direction it is going to take. Also Mahler would revised the sketch, short, orchestrated, corrected and published score till it premiered. So this is a very British sounding take on Mahler, but not a pure Mahler symphony. I will stick with the 9 that we have.
The score does call for muffled drum - Mahler picked this idea up from a funeral procession for a deceased fireman in New York - The cortege passed down Central Park West outside Mahler's residence and he heard the muffled drum in that cortege from his window several floors above the street - or so the story goes.
Well... Having performed and studied this work inside and out, I can say that I am fairly well acquainted with it. This is, no doubt, a fine musical rendition of "The 10th". The slow sections are, without question, quite possibly the best performance heard by this reporter. The downfall comes in the Allegro Moderato. Way too moderato! It should be more brisk and lively! Aside from that, what's with all the muffed notes!!?? Isn't this supposed to be a professional orchestra ...
Absolutely sublime, the best version of the Tenth I have heard, great conductor and orchestra...words are meaningless here..."whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent" in the face of so much beauty. sd goh (malaysia)
