As the first work to express Mahler's lifelong view of the beauty of life after death and resurrection, this symphony is the first truly Mahlerian symphony. Abbado's recording of this brilliant symphony with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is one of the most impressive recordings ever. Every note is precise and well thought out: the climaxes are powerful, while the gentle, playful melodies retain their charm. For this new edition, the original 4-track tapes have been remixed and recut.

On 180-gram vinyl records and in a deluxe gatefold edition with original covers and lyrics, the copies of this series are released limited and numbered, accompanied by additional photos and facsimiles of the recording logs and tape boxes.
