Audiophile 180g gram vinyl. Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 8, Adagio from No. 10 - The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Leonard Bernstein. 'This, then, is the last Bernstein Eighth — a one-off caught live at the 1975 Salzburg Festival … it (the live recording) isn't ideal, but suffice it to say, Bernstein in this repertory is not easily suppressed and, somehow or other, the fervour of the occasion shines through its shortcomings. The Adagio from the Tenth, here once more is an object lesson in Mahlerian sostenuto with Bernstein breathing through and beyond the great arching phrases, aided and abetted by the unique burnished colour of those famed Vienna strings and horns. … There is still a very special tension in the air. There always was.' - The Gramophone Magazine
