Lorin Maazel, New York Philharmonic - Mahler: Symphony No. 1 (Live) (2009)

To celebrate the seven-year tenure of Lorin Maazel as Music Director of the New York Philharmonic (2002–09), the Philharmonic is releasing a set of digital recordings, The Complete Mahler Symphonies, Live – of which the first two installments are now available (Symphony No.8 will be released on August 25). Recorded between 2003 and 2009, the set underscores the special connection between the Philharmonic and the music of Gustav Mahler (1860–1911), who himself was its music director from 1909-1911.
