Simon Gaudenz conducts the Jenaer Philharmonie in the culmination of their series of recordings of the complete Mahler Symphonies, interspersed with world-premiere recordings of pieces by Andrea Lorenzo Scartazzini that reflect each symphony and pay homage to Mahler’s soundworld. This fifth volume features Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 as well as his last, incomplete Symphony No. 10, as well as works by Scartazzini that bookend and illuminate both Mahler’s last musical gasp, and the spectrum of Mahler’s symphonic output. Mahler’s symphonies represent an extraordinary body of work, and it is fascinating to hear them contrasted and commented upon by a new piece specially created to shed light on or pay tribute to that symphony. Since 2018, Andrea Lorenzo Scartazzini has been Composer-in-Residence with the Jenaer Philharmonie, in which role he has been writing these new companion pieces to each of Mahler’s symphonies, which are being performed in Jena as a cycle in chronological order.
