BBC Philharmonic, Gianandrea Noseda Mahler’s deeply personal Tenth Symphony deals with death, redemption, and salvation and is seen by many as a farewell to life. Left as a single Adagio plus fragments of four further movements, it was realised for performance by the Mahler / Bruckner expert Deryck Cooke and premiered at the Proms in 1964. Cooke called his realisation ‘a performing version of the draft for the Tenth Symphony’ and was always concerned to stress that it was in no sense a completion, since only Mahler himself could have completed the work. Symphony No. 10 has since become an established part of the repertoire alongside Mahler’s completed symphonies. 'Noseda conducts with breathtaking dynamism’ (The Guardian) “Gianandrea Noseda coaxes playing from his BBC Philharmonic of unforced beauty. In the interplay between soft dynamics and 'big tone' as Mahler's love of life reasserts itself, Noseda and his orchestra ultimately touch greatness.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2008 **** “Noseda has real Mahlerian credentials. He directed the massive Eighth in Manchester… even before taking up a post with the BBC Philharmonic yet he does not engender from them what might be thought an "authentic" Mahler sound. There is a dearth of neurasthenic edge to the wind sonorities and the strings lack depth.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
