Khirov Orchestra


at Carnegie Hall

A performance with only one piece, the symphony No 2 "Resurrection" by Gustav Mahler of a monumental 90 minutes. I guess composers at the turn of the century just weren't too considerate for the needs of CD publishers, the 30s attention span of the public or the need of radio stations to break for commercials every few minutes... From the sound of it, I would have place it closer to the middle of the 20th century than to the late 19th.
