David John Pike, one of Canada's leading baritone singers, and the great English organist David Briggs present Mahler: Orchestral Songs - The Organ Transcriptions, an astounding new album offering renditions of three cycles of lieder by Gustav Mahler. The recording of these opulent scores on the phenomenal new Eule organ at the Konstantin-Basilika in Germany, has an immediate appeal. The organ's atonal spectrum and the wondrous acoustic of the basilica give a unique and thrilling dimension to the music. About this recording, Briggs wrote: "I was delighted with David Pike asked me to work with him to record these three wonderful Mahler song cycles. There are many pre-existing recordings with piano accompaniment, but the opportunity to register these opulent scores on the phenomenal new Eule organ at the Konstantin-Basilika, taking the music back to it's very core and recasting it anew, was something that had an immediate appeal..."

This recording project collaboration of Paul Kletzki with the Israel Philharmonic was the first time the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra was recorded by a major international recording company. EMI sent recording teams from London to Tel-Aviv in 1954 and 1956 to record the IPO & Kletzki in works by Mahler, Schumann, Mendelssohn and Sch�nberg. Kletzki was an early advocate of Mahler's works - this recording of the 9th symphony was just the second studio recording of that symphony. These recordings were distributed internationally for many years. This release - the recipient of a Diapason d'Or from France - is their first re-release on compact disc and digital platforms
