Paita, Carlos
Mahler Symphonie 6
An exceptional historical document has been published: the unreleased recording of Mahler's Sixth Symphony, conducted by Carlos Païta, captured in concert in Liège in 1997. This double album immortalizes Païta's last public performance, known for his unique temperament and his quest for musical perfection. The recording was saved from oblivion thanks to the intervention of his son, despite Païta's initial refusal to allow the recording. Lasting nearly 80 minutes, this interpretation is distinguished by its urgency and dramatic intensity, far removed from classical readings. Acclaimed by critics and awarded by the ICMA, this album is a reference for fans of Mahler and Païta.
