About

The names of Gustav Mahler and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra are inseparable. Willem Mengelberg's pioneering work and Mahler's own guest performances with the orchestra have laid the foundations for the Dutch Mahler cult and the RCO's Mahler tradition that flourished ever since. During the past years, Daniele Gatti has conducted strong and spectacular performances of four Mahler symphonies as a guest conductor. After the Fifth, Ninth, Sixth and Third, Gatti's first Mahler symphony as chief conductor was the Second Symphony.

This recording marks the start of a new RCO Live Mahler cycle with Daniele Gatti.

March 2018

The incisiveness of strings in the earth-tremors of the first movement, the luminous beauty of the horns and the trumpet seraphics come across beautifully in the most luminous of concert-halls…Watching brings with it obvious pleasures when it comes to the wonderful orchestra. The expressive mobility is very apparent from the double-basses…[Cargill] brings great tonal beauty to the fourth-movement solo.
