    Barbirolli has made one of the greatest recordings ever made of the Fifth, and he alone has undoubtedly pierced "all the contradictions" in an interpretation that combines intelligence with lyricism and warmth. The first movement opens with an impressive trumpet blast. It is a curtain raiser to a funeral march of terrifying power. The second movement opens with a veritable storm of sound. From this maelstrom emerges a theme that is constantly interrupted, mishandled, and broken by the intrusions of the march, as if several orchestras were vying with each other in warlike power. The Scherzo, the largest movement of the symphony, takes on the appearance of a kermesse and a general dance. The Adagietto was written for strings alone and harp: a "song without words". The beauty of the slow movement lies in the fact that the theme is never repeated in full. The harmonic friction born of distant tonalities provokes an impression of elongation of time. What could be more innocuous than the few notes in the opening bars of the Rondofinale? This allegro (followed by an allegro giocoso) conceals its true power.

    I think what makes this recording so special (other than Barbarolli being Barbarolli) is that even in 1969 Mahler 5 was not an everyday symphony. The orchestra knows this music is special and rare to perform and they really had to work for it (not just another day at the office) and we get to enjoy this wonderful recording. 👍

It enables us hear and to listen up close to the superb orchestral textures Barbirolli was able to elicit from his performers ... weaving them into a subtle, all encompasing whole. His mastery is showcased in this brilliant recording of the Mahler 5. There are other great recordings of this masterpiece, but none finer than this. Gratitude as always to the team at CMRR.

    I've been listening to this Mahler's masterpiece all my adult life, and my appreciation and pleasure always increases, every time I listen to it, again. And of all the superb recordings that are available, this Barbirolli interpretation is the one, in my opinion, that most closely captures and delivers the sound and the tempo I prefer for this symphony, especially in the deep and subtle manner in which he presents the Adagietto, in the even and clean delivery of The New Philharmonia Orchestra.

The musical understanding of Barbirolli, the ratios between parts, instrument sections, themes, the organic and logic connection of themes, countermelodies, feelings, mood and sentiment, absolutely the best, sounds like to best version of all, however I’ve listened so many interpretations of this symphony. Incredible and also, wonderful to witness such deep and remarkable result. Humbleness and greatness emerged, two genius, the composer and the conductor found each other in perfect harmony.

    This is my all-time favourite Mahler Symphony, [especially I like the fourth movement, when it was used in the 1971 film called Death In Venice starring Dirk Bogarde-my late mother`s favourite actor]. A great performance from Sir John Barbirolli conducting the New Philharmonia Orchestra and originally released in 1969 as a boxed set with 2 LPs and collaborated with Five Ruckert Songs performed with Dame Janet Baker for EMI/HMV. I recommend this Mahler recording.

    @curseofmillhaven1057 3 месяца назад

    I'm going to buck a trend here - I've never warmed to this version of the 5th. Tempo choices seem pedestrian throughout and frankly rhythmically leaden (the second movement, for example, is not what I'd call 'Moving stormily, with the greatest vehemence') and the Finale just hangs fire when it should be storming it. By contrast, have a listen to Hans Rosbaud, with Cologne Radio in 1951 - it's everything Barbirolli's version is not (even in limited mono sound). I was transfixed. The way Rosbayd handles Mahler's often violent protean changes of mood and rubato is masterly, and the Adagietto is truly a passionate love song to Alma rather than a syrupy dirge. I just don't think this recording represents Barbirolli at his considerable best.
