Symphonies Nos. 5 and 6 in Full Score Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Being a Mahler lover, composer, timpanist, and conductor, I constantly pour through recordings and scores of his works.This edition, while a fine orchestral score, is full of errors which Mahler later corrected.While the musical ideas and feeling of the works here are present, there are some details which differ from newer editions.Do not be fooled; every note these scores contain are Mahlers own. But these are first-edition, first performance scores.Mahler was notorious--conductor that he was--for editing and revising his works after premieres.I have looked at other scores, later, more difinitive scores, which show errors, and some are quite audiable in recordings.But for any young conductor to get a flavor for the structure of these works, the Dover edition is the most practical and cost effective score to buy.

Product Description:
In these two works, Mahler moved beyond his song-oriented earlier works to take up the challenges of the purely instrumental symphony. The result was two of his most emotionally compelling, most often performed symphonic works. Both are reprinted here from authoritative full-score editions.
