A paradigmatic example of the Wiener Symphoniker's core repertoire, Mahler's First Symphony in D major was written only four years before the orchestra was founded in 1900. Not surprisingly, Mahler's symphonies and their interpretational challenges were among the main intersts of the orchestra and it's many renowned conductors from the very beginning. Above that Mahler's Symphony No. 1, being the first oeuvre of a Vienna revolutionary, is more sutable for the start of this new Vienna Orchestra label.

SINFONIE NR. 4 G-DUR

Dreyer Gaido, based in Monster and founded in 2001 by Michael Dreyer and Hugo Germa�n Gaido, has acquired an outstanding reputation in the classic scene by providing excellent classical music productions. The label just recently started a new series, Eastern Voices, which will feature some of the most renowned Middle East artists such as Ibrahim Keivo and Alim Qasimov (who has worked with Jeff Buckley and the Kronos Quartet). on this live recording, the Stuttgart Philharmonic conducted by Gabriel Feltz performs Gustav Mahler's 4th symphony featuring soprano Jeannette Wernecke. She was the youngest finalist at the 2002 National Singing Competition in Berlin and won the 2004 second Price competition in the country North Rhine-Westphalia.

"The Gustav Mahler symphony cycle project, began in 2007, from conductor Gabriel Feltz and the Stuttgart Philhamonic continues with the release of the First Symphony. Having already conducted this work several times, Mr. Feltz's conception of the work, for recording purposes, is an assured one. Principal conductor of the Dortmond Philharmonic, Mr. Feltz's (b. 1971) resume of appointments, appearances, recordings and awards is impressive."

The Taschenphilharmonie, conducted by Peter Stangel, presents this outstanding recording of Mahler’s 7th Symphony. Gustav Mahler wrote his seventh symphony in 1904-1905, though it would not be premiered until 1908. The “smallest Symphony Orchestra in the world,” the Taschenphilharmonie is made up of first-class musicians who came together a decade ago to make music.

MAHLER: SYMPHONY NO. 8

The ouevre of Gustav Mahler has been a focal point of the ten year cooperation between the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra and Gabriel Feltz (2003 - 2013). The last recording made during this period is Mahler's "Resurrection Symphony". The Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra and Feltz are joined by the outstanding soloists Chen Reiss and Tanja Ariane Baumgartner and the Czech Philharmonic Choir Brno. Feltz writes: "Gustav Mahler's symphonies have accompanied me since I was a youth of about 13. It is certainly not unusual for a youth who is interested in orchestral music to be fascinated by these works once he has discovered them. The abundance and complexity of the scores, which I was fortunately able to study in my early years, was however, somewhat overpowering. The composer's aspiration to create "whole worlds" is overwhelming, and which young person is averse to being overwhelmed?"
