¡Mahler: Symphony No.1
¡Andrea Battistoni (Conductor) / Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra
Description
[Machine Translation] Michelangelo or Unkei? A miraculous statue of a "giant" dug out from the hollow by a genius sculptor of sound without parallel in the world of conducting. The news that Andrea Battistoni, the young Italian conductor prodigy, would once again take the podium as a substitute conductor for the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra's subscription program thrilled fans who had been astonished by Respighi's Rome Trilogy in May 2013. This is a live recording of the last day of the concert. The genius of this 26-year-old conductor has already been cited by such predecessors of Italian conductors as Toscanini, Abbado, and Muti, but his genius is exceptional, and in the not-too-distant future he may even be mentioned in the same breath as such landmark figures as Furtwangler, Karajan, and Kleiber. In the not-too-distant future, he may even be mentioned in the same breath as such landmark figures as Furtwangler, Karajan and Kleiber. If one were to look for an analogy, it would be better to look to the world of sculpture, such as Michelangelo and Unkei, rather than to the world of music. The performance was as fresh and realistic as if he had composed it himself, as if he had simply carved out what was there.
