Mahler symphonies have been central to Bychkov’s programming with the Czech Philharmonic since 2018 when he opened his tenure as Chief Conductor and Music Director with performances of Mahler Symphony No. 2\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNo. 9 in D Minor: nobody who had conducted Beethoven’s symphonies as regularly as Mahler could have been in any doubt of the eerie importance of the milestone. Couching his response in the same D minor – the key with which Mahler had also begun his curtain-raising First Symphony – he seemed to be preparing for a comparably summatory gesture.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe existence of the torso of a Tenth Symphony may place doubt over whether the Ninth was, in fact, to be the final finale, though it still brings us face to face with what Theodor Reik described as the ‘last Mahler’, ‘the real one’, ‘he himself’. Scourged by time, undone by experience, he ‘no longer looks toward the balcony or the orchestra. The vision is straight ahead to see what is coming, what is so near, what is nearly here already, the end, the terror of the end.’\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCzech Philharmonic Orchestra\r\nSemyon Bychkov, Conductor\r\n\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Pentatone","offers":[{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56743043760452,"sku":"PTC51874909-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56743043793220,"sku":"PTC51874909-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56743043825988,"sku":"PTC51874909-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56743043858756,"sku":"PTC51874909-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56743043891524,"sku":"PTC51874909-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56743043924292,"sku":"PTC51874909-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57345047331140,"sku":"PTC51874909-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/PTC51874909.jpg?v=1778512953","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/ptc51874909-mahler-symphony-no-9","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
