About

Left unfinished at the death of the composer, Gustav Mahler's Tenth Symphony has exerted an enormous fascination on musicologists as well as musicians. Whether fully orchestrated in specific passages, or a sole melody in others, there is one continuous line throughout the surviving manuscript pages and over the years a number of different completions or performing versions have seen the light of day. One of the latest is this 'recreation' of the work for chamber orchestra by composer and conductor Michelle Castelletti.

Castelletti's arrangement achieves a remarkably full and convincing range of sonority...The level of performance is a tribute to Finland's formidable commitment to musical education and training: every player and section is superb, making light of the demanding level of exposure that comes with chamber orchestra set-up of this kind.

I loved it, and defy anyone to remain dry-eyed as the final chord dies away. Sensational playing and impressive direction; this is a very special disc.
