Performance:  Sonics: |
| A very taut performance of Mahler’s sprawling Seventh Symphony. The orchestral playing is fine, if not first class, and has an authentic warmth about it. Especially the brass section. Ashkenazy’s rigorous, decidedly unromantic approach is at odds with current performance practices, but it yields excellent results and provides an interesting alternative to the more extraverted recordings by Bernstein and Sinopoli. The Rudolfinum’s acoustics are well caught.
