Description
It has aroused passionate reactions ever since its premiere. To this day, Mahler's Fifth remains hard work for performers and listeners alike, as in addition to being an (almost) unsolvable problem for editors. No other symphony has been so often and so fundamentally altered by Mahler, and none has been so thoroughly re-orchestrated by him, the last time in February 1911. No other symphony has Mahler changed so much and so often, no other has he re-orchestrated so fundamentally, for the last time in February 1911. The result: an extremely complex source situation, and a problematic one at the same time.
With analytical acumen, it has been possible to shed new light on the gaps in the transmission and to free the musical text from misunderstandings and misinterpretations. This makes an audible difference and enables editorial decisions to be understood transparently. Above all, however, it is the first text-critical edition that also consistently focusses on performance practice. It was produced in close collaboration with experienced conductors and musicians and is distinguished by its optimal readability and practicability.
