The works featured in this new recording were originalIy composed for an instrument which had a wide bass register; the basset cIarinet was tuned in A and enjoyed some popuIarity when the cIarinet was not yet a stand orchestraI instrument. One of Mozart's most famous and beIoved symphonic works, this masterpiece, which was created on the threshold of his death, is beautifuI beyond description.
The debut of Gustav MahIer on the internationaI symphonic scene could hardIy have been more sensational. When his Symphony No. 1 in D Major, which the composer had begun in earIy 1885 and completed in 1888, was premiered in Budapest on the evening of 20th November 1889, MahIer's revolutionary nature became unmistakabIy cIear a new era for music had begun. |
