GRAMOPHONE CRITICS' CHOICE
'It is completely impossible to estimate what music has lost in him. His First Symphony soars to such heights of genius that it makes him - without exaggeration - the founder of the New Symphony as I understand it'
- Gustav Mahler
'A revelation … the source for a suprising number of what one always assumed to be Mahler's own themes, but it also proved to be a work that has an integrity and an individual sound world of its own'
- The Musical Times
'Nobody pursuing authenticity in Mahler can afford to ignore Rott's precocious symphony'
- The Sunday Times
'Definitely one of my records of the year'
- BBC Record Review
'A revelation'
- The Washington Post
'Very strongly recommended'
- CD Review, USA
'Readers should investigate this issue without delay'
- Penguin Guide to Compact Discs
