Notes and Editorial Reviews
Valery Gergiev's performances and recordings of Mahler's symphonies with the LSO have garnered international acclaim. They have performed the works in Europe, North America and the Far East and their recordings have received numerous awards. The symphonies were originally released between 2008 and 2011 and will now be made available together for the first time as a beautifully packaged 10 SACD box set.

Gustav Mahler redefined the dimensions, structure, and possibilities for expression that the symphony offered. Neglected for decades after his untimely death, his symphonies are now universally regarded as among the greatest works of music. The themes of faith, love, tragedy and death run throughout the cycle of nine completed scores, effectively chronicling the career of one of the greatest composers on an epic scale.

Review by Blair Sanderson [-]
The potent personal charisma of Valery Gergiev is obviously well-suited to powerhouse classics, and nowhere are his bigger-than-life expressions better suited than in the symphonies of Gustav Mahler, which the London Symphony Orchestra released as separate SACDs on its LSO Live label between 2008 and 2011. The nine completed symphonies and the Adagio from the unfinished Tenth receive intense, committed readings, and the music is handled for the most part with great clarity of details and heightened emotions, which work in Mahler's technically demanding and psychologically complex scores. Gergiev is at his best in his performances of the Sixth, Seventh, and Ninth, where the hypercharged atmosphere of the music matches his fiery temperament wonderfully. Less successful, though admirable in many ways, are the recordings of the First, Second, and Fifth, which are driven and volatile where they need to be, but sufficiently relaxed in their slow movements to show Gergiev's flexibility. However, this set has some low points that might put it further down on the wishlist for some collectors. The underwhelming renditions of the Third, Fourth, and Eighth will disappoint hardcore Mahlerians, largely because Gergiev seems to have little sympathy for their subject matter, and the weak sound of the Eighth in particular is enough to make most listeners seek alternative recordings. On the whole, though, this is one of the more compelling cycles to emerge in the new century, and it demands a fair hearing, despite its unevenness.

Londoner Mahler
Mit seinem Mahler-Zyklus auf LSOlive bewies Valery Gergiev nicht nur, dass es so etwas wie eine russische Mahler-Tradition gibt, er empfahl sich auch gleichzeitig als einer der interessantesten Mahler-Exegeten unserer Zeit, dem das London Symphony Orchestra bedingungslos bis ins kleinste Detail folgte. Die international mit viel Kritikerlob bedachten einzelnen Folgen werden hier in einer Box zusammengefasst, die dank SACD-Aufnahmetechnik auch klanglich zu überzeugen weiß.
