LSO Live - MAHLER Symphony 7 Valery Gergiev

Following explosive accounts of the First and Sixth symphonies, the third release in Valery Gergiev's astonishing Mahler cycle features Symphony No 7. The revelatory performances of the Seventh have been one of the highlights of the cycle in concert to date.

A fourth release will follow in October 2008 followed by the remainder of the cycle in 2009. Still to be recorded are Symphony No. 9 during June and Symphony No. 8 at St Paul's Cathedral in July.Over the summer Gergiev will conduct the LSO at the Edinburgh Festival and BBC Proms.A major tour of Japan will follow in the autumn as well as a 14-date US tour in Spring 2009. Gergiev's future recording plans on LSO Live include music by Rachmaninov, Prokofiev, Bartók and Stravinsky.

"a performance of the Seventh Symphony as cohesive and powerful as I can remember. This was a blinder from start to finish ... "
****- The Financial Times

"the Seventh so often undercuts its own material with images of mortality and the grotesque that it takes a remarkable in terpreter to hold the thing together and drive it through to its final ambiguous shudder. Gergiev did so with bravura; one senses that he means every note with desparate conviction"
- The Guardian
