About
The British-born conductor Charles Adler was a student of Mahler, so had a great feeling for the Mahler idiom. His concert performance of the Adagio and Purgatorio from the 10th Symphony are issued here for the first time. The set also includes Adler’s 1952 studio recording of the 3rd Symphony which served as an introduction to the score for many music lovers and even conductors such as Bernstein.

The Third’s adagio finale unfolds in a measured way (26 minutes!) that draws out its profound humanity awesomely. No 10’s searing adagio has an unbeatable immediacy.
