Mahler: Symphony No. 10

DAVID ZINMAN concludes his acclaimed Mahler symphony cycle with the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich and the release of Symphony No. 10. Zinman describes the Tenth Symphony as the "saddest chapter" in this great, ten-part symphonic novel in which Mahler bids his wife Alma farewell, speaks of his disillusionment with life, and looks into the future of music. Zinman employs the lesser-known Clinton A. Carpenter version of this famously unfinished work as it "contains more of that specific Mahler sound ... Sometimes one has to change the score on the basis of the sketches according to one s own judgment. So it will be exciting to perform this version of the piece."
