Jonathan Nott and his Bamberger Symphoniker have added a new chapter to the performance history of Mahler symphonies. In every respect, the conductor’s individual stamp and the orchestra’s characteristic sound do justice to this symphonic universe. These dedicated artists master the orchestral virtuosity and the fine-tuned inner structures, as well as the great dramatic outbursts in the monumental sections.

The recording breathes new life into Gustav Mahler’s visions, his creativity, inner conflicts, yearning and joyful music-making. Human tragedy and divine comedy are united in a unique work of art: Dall’Inferno al Paradiso.
