"Claudio Abbado's Chicago Symphony Orchestra recording of Mahler's Symphony No. 1 is widely considered a great performance, praised for its dramatic intensity, wider dynamic range, and poetic shaping of the music. While the orchestra is in magnificent form, with superb brass and woodwinds, the recording is slightly marred by poor edits in the "funeral march" movement, which reviewers noted as a disappointing oversight. Despite this technical flaw, many critics regard this recording as a highly competitive and vital interpretation of the symphony. Dramatic intensity: The performance is noted for its dramatic energy, wider dynamic range, and heightened sense of conflict, particularly in the finale. Poetic interpretation: Reviewers highlight Abbado's subtle shaping of the music and use of rubato, which brings a unique and dramatic life to the score without being overheated. The Chicago Symphony is in magnificent form, with a performance that is both powerful and refined. The sound is described as marvelous and the orchestral playing is top-tier, though some may find the later Berlin version less compelling. Musical balance: The performance successfully captures the sardonic yet playful nature of the third movement and the "brassy outbursts" of the finale, all while maintaining a natural and compelling flow. Even with some technical issues, many critics consider this recording to be a highly competitive and worthwhile version of the symphony." -Music Web international. 5*/5 -Discdogs
