Zubin Mehta & Los Angeles Philharmonic - Mahler: Symphony No. 3 In D Minor/ Forrester / Analogue

Gustav Mahler's 3rd Symphony, completed in 1896, is the most extensive work in the Austrian composer's oeuvre. The monumental work is a musical portrait of the universe and at the same time an attempt to interpret the world.

Mahler's 3rd Symphony places the highest demands on its interpreters, not only because of its enormous dimensions, but also in its sound philosophy.Zubin Mehta's 1978 Decca recording with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra

and Maureen Forrester as vocal soloist is one of the most remarkable recordings of the work for several reasons and is considered by Mahler connoisseurs and audiophiles alike to be an absolute reference recording: the energetic and

precise orchestral design, avoiding any sentimentality, the mature alto voice of the fantastic Maureen Forrester - and last but not least a repeatedly overwhelming sonority distinguish one of the best Decca recordings of the late analog era.

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
