Czech Philharmonic – Gustav Mahler: Syms 1-9

PENTATONE’S release of the Czech Philharmonic’s complete Mahler Cycle under Bychkov brings together one of Europe’s most historically resonant orchestras with a conductor internationally recognised for his structural command and interpretive integrity. The Orchestra occupies a distinctive place within Mahler’s geographical and cultural landscape – Mahler was born and brought up in Bohemia and completed his first symphony shortly after spending a year in Prague. Mahler symphonies have been central to Bychkov’s programming with the Czech Philharmonic since 2018 when he opened his tenure as Chief Conductor and Music Director with performances of Mahler Symphony No. 2Symphonies Nos. 1-5, released by PENTATONE beginning in April 2022, have received universal acclaim. The recordings have been selected as Gramophone Editor’s Choice and BBC Music Magazine Recording of the Month. As The Sunday Times writes, “This is turning out to be one of the truly great Mahler sets.”
