Description: AmazonFinnish conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen is one of the few indisputably great masters of his trade. Thank God he's young and healthy, with a long career in front of him. He is currently presiding over what I have no doubt will later be regarded as a sort of "golden age" in Los Angeles. The orchestra has never sounded better--in fact, the playing on this disc is so staggeringly fine that you're simply not conscious of it at all. Salonen's interpretation is equally persuasive. It's so natural that it actually makes the work--the longest symphony in the repertoire--seem short. Because he makes everything sound so easy, he has been criticized for a certain emotional coolness. Humbug! Check out the end of the first movement for the most exciting and passionate five minutes of music you're ever likely to hear. Greatness, folks, pure and simple. -- David Hurwitzcondition info: Includes original disc(s) and case. Minimal wear to disc(s).
