馬勒:第五號交響曲 芳斯瓦-澤維爾.羅斯 指揮 科隆愛樂樂團 / Francois-Xavier Roth / Mahler: Symphony No. 5

Immortalized in Luchino Visconti's masterpiece "Death in Venice", Mahler's Symphony No. 5 (with its unforgettable Adagietto) today needs no introduction. Except to point out that the composer himself led its premiere some 113 years ago, conducting the Gurzenich Orchestra of Cologne. For this recording, the modern-day players comprising the very same ensemble are led by the city's newly appointed General Music Director, Francois-Xavier Roth, which patently places this version in a class of its own.
