Mariss Jansons, Ricarda Merbeth, Bernarda Fink

Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Netherlands Radio Choir

Recorded Live at Concertgebouw Amsterdam on 3, 4, 6 December 2009

Once again, Jansons stands out in these performances with his astonishingly keen eye for the minutest details. Like no other, Jansons possesses the ability to integrate all this beautiful detailing into the virtually infinite overarching climaxes that can make listening to Mahler’s symphonies such an exciting experience.
