This recording of Mahler’s Ninth Symphony is an event, because it was made with period instruments of the kind the composer used in Vienna. The Mahler Academy Orchestra set itself the task of reconstructing this instrumentarium and researching how musicians of the time played it: ‘We were struck during our rehearsals by the incredibly distinctive characterisation of the woodwinds, the shattering blare of the brass, the perfect balance between the instruments, and the pure and warm sound of the strings. . . They took Mahler’s brilliant orchestration to yet another level’, says Philipp Von Steinaecker, artistic director of this ambitious ‘Originalklang’ (original sound) project and conductor of this orchestra, which brings some fifty young musicians into contact with the finest instrumentalists from the world’s leading formations (Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Budapest Festival Orchestra, Staatskapelle Dresden, Wiener Symphoniker etc.). Together they made this historic recording in Dobbiaco-Toblach in Italy, where Mahler composed his monumental symphony in 1909, two years before his death.

I believe this project is very nice and attracting. Nowdays, finally, many musicians can play period instruments without large mistakes during a live performance (in other words, can give a studio-level performance). The usage of vibrato and other techniques are able to be 'reverted'. There is nothing cooler than listening to perfectly controled string tone in the live performance. And I also believe that it has been presented many times around Europe these days.
Some people really thinks they interpret the composer better than other musicians
Great to see Marinus Komst, former Concertgebouw timpanist.
The Mahler 9th recording no one asked for. 😎🎹
Listen to the 1938 Bruno Walter / Vienna Phil live recording of the Mahler 9. Listen to the solos of Arnold Rose(Mahler’s brother-in-law). Here you will hear the closest and most reliable Mahler sound. Vibrato was definitely employed. Such experiment though interesting are not definitive.
But it is also true that Arnold didn't like vibrato in general, throughout his WP term.
the string playing is really strange but rather interesting - Mahler writes clear requests for portamentos a great deal in this score but these players are applying portamenti almost everywhere, even the opening major 2nd F#-E is a slide!
I wonder what it REALLY sounded like back then?? Older acoustics, stylistic differences, playing/performing techniques, etc
Why?
I always wanted this kind of project! Cool and good... kind of reminds me of Norrington
Maybe in a few years, after practicing a lot on this very special instruments…
already there are a few.
Das ganz nützlich für eins meiner Projekte :)
wonderful i ve waited for a mahler like this
Just following the hype of 'authenticity' to sell and make a name. This performance is one big LIE.
Quite cool. I wonder what say Rachmaninoff's 2nd symphony would sound like on these instruments. Maybe a little more transparent, compared to the thicker sounds of today.
Ridiculous sound, especially in brass and woodwinds...
Sounds just awful
It really does, it’s sad. Music shouldn’t have to rely on gimmicks.
What sounds awful about it?
@@xfanypants135 Everything. Impressive how they manage to destroy everything.
Ludicrous. Instruments are far less important than the people that play them. This project is so small-minded in it’s mission; it’s prioritizing a gimmick over the music and the creative interpretation. Mahler said it himself: Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.
Edit: As a side note, everything Clive Brown says from 4:48 to 5:10 is complete nonsense. We know how this work was interpreted at its premiere; we have multiple recordings made by Bruno Walter, the man who premiered the 9th. You can’t argue that modern orchestras don’t understand how it was done at the premiere when we have recordings straight from the horse’s mouth. Also, the idea of every single player in an orchestra interpreting their sound differently being presented as a positive really speaks to how ignorant Clive Brown is about how an orchestra actually works. There’s a reason why string players carefully coordinate how they move their bows as a section, or why brass players are taught to listen and blend their tone.
Also, the notion that a pickup orchestra, comprising as many students as professionals, would at all be an authentic representation of how an orchestra like the Vienna State Opera or the Vienna Philharmonic really sounded is patently absurd.
This is farcical nonsense.
Can’t imagine they found money for this type of project, please feed the homeless do something better than this
Might as well disband all symphony orchestras because they're a waste of money
Ok 👍
