Mahler – Symphony No. 9 (Karajan-1982) [FLAC]

Choice between the 1982 Karajan classic and the analogue studio recording is by no means easy. Both versions won Gramophone Awards in their day. This live performance remains a remarkable one, with a commitment to lucidity of sound and certainty of line. There�s nothing dispassionate about the way the Berlin Philharmonic tears into the Rondo-Burleske, the agogic touches of the analogue version ironed out without loss of intensity. True, Karajan doesn�t seek to emulate the passionate immediacy of a Barbirolli or a Bernstein but in his broadly conceived, gloriously played Adagio the sepulchral hush is as memorable as the eruptive climax. The finesse of the playing is unmatched. – Gramophone (http://www.gramophone.co.uk/editorial/mahlers-symphony-no-9)

With the music enjoying increased exposure thanks to its memorable use in Birdman, here’s a chance to acquaint yourself with what is widely considered the greatest of all its recordings.
