NEW: Gustav Mahler - Symphony No. 7
It's a project that has become a real success story: the complete recording of Gustav Mahlers' all finished symphonies by the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra and their Principal Conductor Jonathan Nott. The recordings (all done in co-production with the Bayerische Rundfunk and the CD label TUDOR) have received enthusiastic press reviews and been awarded with several prices over the years.
Six of Mahler's nine symphonies had already been on the market - just now another one has been released: the enigmatic symphony No. 7.
