Cambreling & Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra in their prime, a masterful performance of Mahler's 9th! Maestro Cambreling, who served as the permanent conductor of the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra from 2010 to March 2019, built a strong relationship with the orchestra. This CD release of their supreme Mahler 9th, a performance that should be remembered as the pinnacle of their collaboration, is a welcome addition. Cambreling's conducting is filled with expression, and the orchestra responds magnificently, creating powerful music. This is an unprecedented, outstanding performance that allows you to savor every detail of Mahler's incredibly dense symphony, written with all his compositional skill, and which combines taut tension with ethereal beauty. The audience's concentration is also remarkable, and even the scene of the entire hall holding its breath as the melody dissolves and fades away in the concluding section is palpable.
