Vladimir Jurowski conductor
Hélène Grimaud piano




Mahler’s First Symphony: the opening chapter of his spiritual autobiography. And the music itself seems to awaken – emerging from hushed strings and woodwind cuckoos into its stride, marching forth, stamping towards an eerie realisation of a nursery rhyme and arriving at a final, blazing affirmation of confidence. Here Vladimir Jurowski includes additional, cleansing musical statements: Beethoven’s ‘taming the furies’ Fourth Piano Concerto, and the movement of the First Symphony that Mahler’s publisher discarded, Blumine – a pure and touching statement shot through with Mahler’s own inimitable sense of resignation and regret.
