A beautiful box 2

There are many references integrals Mahler symphonies to disc. It is also difficult or impossible to establish a hierarchy between them so the level is high among the legendary leaders who carved this music.
Thus include full marvelous Bernard Haitink, that of Leonard Bernstein, Rafael Kubelik and Pierre Boulez.

This an inexpensive kit is another must as it is the flamboyant Georg Solti who leads the dance.

In the wake of his Wagnerian recordings, Solti as always exudes an energy and a rarely matched panache and ringing with happiness with Mahler. For Solti, interpretation begins with a reproduction as close as possible to the composer's intentions as indicated in the score. The correct such rhythm is paramount for him. Its exceptional ear as well as his knowledge of the possibilities of each instrument and his sense of balance orchestral mass make it particularly comfortable in the big romantic and post-romantic frescoes.

These ten CDS have been recorded over the years with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, one of the best in the world in this directory. The sound is really perfect, putting this integral addition the head of talent in the squad heads to favor boxes.

After course, choose an integral is always difficult knowing that individually these symphonies can have other essential references. Interesting exercise, I suggest to my level the following choice:

1 st Pierre Boulez
2nd Otto Klemperer
3rd Georg Solti
4 th Rafael Kubelik
5 th Pierre Boulez or Georg Solti
6 th Georg solti
7 th Bernard Haitink
8 th Seiji ozawa
9th Carlo Maria Giulini (a must for me)

That said the Solti cabinet is a real gem and if you want to make you a beautiful gift, do not hesitate to embark on this exciting saga.
