Although a valedictory mood underpins it, Mahler's Ninth Symphony offers above all a profound meditation on the fate of humanity and seems to exude an immense love of life. Sustained by the commitment and excellence of the artists, this recording reveals the formal, technical and orchestral modernity of a work that was to exert a genuine fascination on the Viennese composers of the following generation.
"A measured reading of Mahler's Ninth with a convincing balance between short-term excitements and long-term continuity, that would offer any first-time listeners a fair representation of its emotional and structural stature" BBC Music
"This is a searing, strong and honest account of Mahler's final completed symphony from Harding. He counters the sense of impending tragedy in the opening movement with a cogent view of its tumultuous, complex symphonic argument." The Sunday Times
"An impressive achievement...utterly coherent and never overwrought" The Guardian
