"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."
