Klemperer Mendelson Symphony no 5

The epic Symphony No. 2 brought Gustav Mahler and Otto Klemperer together in 1905, when the 20-year-old conductor took charge of the off-stage band for a performance in Berlin.

Experience the timeless beauty and grandeur of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Op. 125 "Choral" and the captivating "Incidental Music to Egmont, Op. 84", performed by the renowned Otto Klemperer and the Philharmonia Orchestra.

"The five songs that follow the performance of the Fourth Symphony (two from Des Knaben Wunderhorn and three from the Rückert-Lieder) date from the time of the Klemperer/Ludwig Das Lied von der Erde, and rank among the finest examples of Mahler singing ever recorded.

The Symphony No. 2 in C minor by Gustav Mahler, known as the Resurrection Symphony, was written between 1888 and 1894, and first performed in 1895. This symphony was one of Mahler's most popular and successful works during his lifetime. It was his first major work that established his lifelong view of the beauty of afterlife and resurrection. In this large work, the composer further developed the creativity of "sound of the distance" and creating a "world of its own", aspects already seen in his First Symphony. The work has a duration of 80 to 90 minutes, and is conventionally labelled as being in the key of C minor; the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians labels the work's tonality as C minor–E♭ major. It was voted the fifth-greatest symphony of all time in a survey of conductors carried out by the BBC Music Magazine.

For many years it was assumed that no recordings existed of Horenstein conducting Mahler's Fifth Symphony, but in the last few years no less than three have surfaced: with the London Symphony Orchestra, the Goteborg Symphony Orchestra, and this one with the Berlin Philharmonic, recorded live during the 1961 Edinburgh Festival.

Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 5 in B♭ major, D. 485, was written mainly in September 1816 and completed on 3 October 1816.
