Andris Nelsons & Wiener Philharmoniker - Mahler: Symphony No. 5

Andris Nelsons & Wiener Philharmoniker — Mahler: Symphony No. 5

180-gram gatefold double LP

Andris Nelsons and the Wiener Philharmoniker launch their long-awaited complete Mahler Symphonic cycle for Deutsche Grammophon with a breathtaking account of the Fifth Symphony, recorded in 2022. This stand-alone release captures the orchestra's luminous sound and Nelsons' deeply human approach to Mahler's music — by turns intimate, ecstatic, and transcendent. The performance's sweeping intensity and radiant Adagietto offer a thrilling prelude to the full cycle to come, promising one of the most significant Mahler projects of our time.

Nelsons follows Mahler's multifaceted score with a keen sense of contrast, transition, and emotional depth. The result is an interpretation that takes the work's drama just as seriously as its lighter, almost ethereal moments.

This double vinyl release marks the start of Nelsons' Mahler cycle with the Vienna Philharmonic and invites listeners to rediscover one of the central works of the symphonic repertoire.
