Mahler: Symphony No. 9 - Daniel Harding, Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra

Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra - Daniel Harding - Symphony Orchestra

Daniel Harding - Conductor

Although a valedictory mood underpins it, Mahler’s Ninth Symphony offers above all a profound meditation on the fate of humanity and seems to exude an immense love of life. Sustained by the commitment and excellence of the artists, this recording reveals the formal, technical and orchestral modernity of a work that was to exert a genuine fascination on the Viennese composers of the following generation.
