Description:

Mahler Series No. 6!　The words of Mahler vividly expressed by Czech voices! The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and Marzal gave a brilliant Czech Philharmonic sound at their performances throughout Japan, and all the concerts were a great success. Immediately after their visit to Japan in January 2008, they released Mahler's Symphony No. 9! The high roar of Mahler's unique brass and the firm resonance of the inner voices can only be brought out by Marzal's deep analysis of Mahler's music. The breathtakingly beautiful final movement. The beautifully smooth sound curve of the strings, like a streamlined sculpture, and the melody played with love for Mahler's music, which weaves melodic lines like delicate glasswork ......, have a very Czech flavor, and all the instruments push forward to the very limits of the music with the passion hidden deep within the melody. The melodies have a strong Czech flavor, and all of the instruments are driven by the passion that lies deep within the melody. Maazel is also very closely related to Mahler, who was born in the Czech Republic, and all of the pieces can be related to the place where he was born and raised. The trumpet horns of a barracks in the Czech countryside, which Mahler listened to daily as a child, are the sound of Mahler's brass melody harpsichord. This was a major influence on Mahler's use of brass melodies.Marzal, in particular, grew up where Mahler was born and raised, and is a true understanding of Mahler's voice at its most vivid.
