"Bernstein stamps his outsize personality onievery bar andiregularly has you convinced it isiMahler´s own." - Gramophone Bernstein´s youthful, urgent conducting of the Fourth take a refreshing slant on the symphony´s classical temper, while in the Fifth he coaxes from the Vienna Philharmonic a detailed response to the work´s tragic beginning and triumphant conclusion. The reverie of the Adagietto is uniquely intense in this performance. Bernstein´s thrilling traversal of the epic Sixth Symphony comes from the end of his Maher cycle in Vienna, during which the conductor and his orchestra forged an unbreakable bond.
