5.0 out of 5 stars Des phrasés uniques July 21 2011
By Pèire Cotó TOP 1000 REVIEWER
La plupart des "Titan" se ressemblent en apparence, en raison de la personnalité rythmique et mélodique de la plupart des mouvements, mais c'est évidemment une illusion : qu'on compare ce qu'en fait Pierre Boulez avec le dernier enregistrement de Bruno Walter. Ce qui est certain, c'est qu'on ne dira pas que le disque de Jascha Horenstein, gravé en 1969 pour le petit label Unicorn avec l'Orchestre Symphonique de Londres, est semblable aux autres. Version légendaire, elle a été, ce qui se comprend, beaucoup moins bien distribuée que d'autres. Maintenant Internet et notamment Amazon rendent l'accès à cet enregistrement moins problématique.

Dès le début on remarque la netteté et l'autorité de l'articulation, la clarté des plans, la progression du discours, le soin avec lequel les gradations sont ménagées, la précision, la mise en valeur des timbres, avec toutefois beaucoup moins de froideur que dans d'autres disques de Horenstein, ou, pour parler de cette Première Symphonie de Mahler, que chez Karel Ancerl. Si l'on n'écoute que cette version, on a surtout le sentiment d'une lecture parfaitement classique de la partition, tenue et surtout retenue d'une main de fer; mais dans une écoute comparée, même avec un enregistrement aussi personnel que le concert de Mitropoulos au Carnegie Hall en 1960, on est frappé au contraire par l'extraordinaire originalité des phrasés d'Horenstein, probablement unique dans la discographie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb rendering of this popular work. Nov 10 1999
By David Rothstein - Published on Amazon.com
Mahler's first is most probably his most popular although definately not his greatest. I have a few versions including Kubelik's with the incredible final coda.However,as almost always is the case,Horenstein's is the one every Mahlerite simply must have. His insight and uncanny understanding and interpretations of Mahler always astound me. This in addition to his absolute control of the orchestra (especially in the climaxes)compells one to buy this CD and of course all other Horenstein's Mahler.

5.0 out of 5 stars Titanic Mahler 1 July 24 2001
By Brian H. Williams - Published on Amazon.com
With the numerous versions available of the Mahler 1, this version by Horenstein may sadly be overlooked by many music lovers. Horenstein never achieved the popularity that Bernstein or Szell did. Regardless, he is one of the greatest conductors of the golden age of conducting. His Mahler may seem blunt, which may offend some listeners, but his insights into the score, such as his decellarando towards the horn climax in the 1st movement, adds a degree of suspense that is truely exciting. You can't go wrong with this performance!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest First symphonies in the repetoire. April 6 2003
By The ArchMage - Published on Amazon.com
First Movement - the tempo is just right, neither too fast nor too slow. Leisurely, somewhat slow, in other words perfect for evoking nature.

Second Movement - taken at a nice clip, and definitely "not too fast" per Mahler's instructions in the score.

Third movement - the landler is perfectly played.

Fourth Movement - the opening is cataclysmic, as it should be. the LSO Brass section is awesome. The LSO and Horenstein are kicking...and taking names in this movement. The build up to climaxes is perfectly considered. The big bass drum is great.

The reprise when Mahler brings back the music from the first movement, appears to be almost a suspension of time. Horenstein's extention of the tempo during the climax of the finaly so that the great and beautiful Horn chorale themes can be heard is magnificent - a great majority of conductors simply rush through this section as if their late for a dinner engagement. This recording is justly famous as one of a handful of great Mahler First recordings.
