Eliahu Inbal (conductor)

Description:

Following the release of Mahler: Symphony No. 8 "Symphony of a Thousand" in 2008, which caused a sensation, the second installment in Inbal's Mahler series is Symphony No. 4. Inbal has established himself as a world-class Mahler conductor by completing the complete Mahler cycle with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra in the 1980s and 1990s. In this performance, which he worked on over the years, you can fully feel his true value. Inbal, who describes Mahler as "the greatest symphonic composer of all time," masterfully creates a heavenly sound that is bright and melancholy at the same time. The performance maximizes the beauty of the harmony in the delicate textures. The orchestra places all its trust in Inbal, and the string ensemble in particular is remarkable for its lushness and richness of sound. Octavia Records
