Composer:
Gustav Mahler

Conductor:
John Barbirolli

Background: These two recordings originally appeared as a 2LP set in 1968, just two years before Sir John Barbirolli’s untimely death. It was not until 1954 that he began to explore Mahler's symphonies, beginning with the Ninth. Devoting months and sometimes years to the study of each one, he became the leading advocate in Britain of Mahler’s music.

From 1961 Barbirolli was a regular guest conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, with whom he made a celebrated recording of the Ninth for EMI in 1964. Three years later he took the Philharmonia Orchestra into Kingsway Hall for the Sixth Symphony (the Strauss was done a few days later at Abbey Road).

This CD release settles one point of controversy: that, despite the use of the 1963 Mahler Society edition and the running order of the first LPs, Barbirolli always intended (as Mahler finally did) that the Scherzo stand third, after the Andante.
