Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 1 In D Major/Symphonic Movement Blumine
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Mahler's First Symphony originally had five movements, not four. The extra movement, Blumine ("Flowers"), was cut when Mahler revised the work at the end of his life, but it's a lovely little piece all the same. Some performances reinstate the movement, but Neeme Järvi's solution is even more intelligent; he includes it as an encore to a colorful and exciting performance of the standard, four-movement First. If you want to hear Mahler's original thoughts, simply play Blumine between the first two movements. Great sound, too. --David Hurwitz

Wow! What Sonics and what a Performance!.......2006-04-27
I've only got one other recording of this symphony (the one by Abbado and the Chicago Symphony), and I got this one because it was inexpensive, and included the Blumine movement. So I wasn't prepared for the treat ahead when I loaded it into my system. Wow!
Now, I've been an audiophile since the 50's (that makes me an old geek, or geezer) and now I've got home-built speakers that I used knowledge from my Ph.D. studies to build. The system has response down to 23 Hz, and it can handle lots of power...
Let me say first off that there's a bass drum that it VERY satisfying! And the brass! One peculiarity seems to be a changing acoustical vantage point - sometimes the brass are very soft and in the background, and sometimes they're right there in your ears. Another attribute is that the strings are just a little bit on the wiry side. You get used to these attributes...
The performance is incredible... certainly the equal of Abbado and the famed Chicago Symphony. Now that I'm excited, I'm going to have to get some other recordings. but I can't imagine anything better than this one.
In closing, let me confess that the joys I experienced while listening to this brought tears to my eyes, again and again!
Exhilirating performance........2003-08-17
As a trumpet player, I am extremely critical of many recordings I hear or purchase, and I am also very familiar with Mahler's 1st. I heard good things about this recording, and, after purchasing it, could not stop listening to it. The first and last movements are particularly well done. The fortissimo sections are full and rich the way Mahler meant them to be played, and the Finale still gives me a rush every time I hear it. The Blumine movement, too rarely recorded or performed, is equally magnificent. Kudos to the trumpet soloist!
A Fine Mahler 1st Symphony With The Rare Blumine Movement.......2001-12-21
Young English conductor James Judd leads the Florida Philharmonic in a spellbinding performance of Mahler's 1st Symphony which includes the rarely heard "Blumine" movement; Mahler deleted it from his final version of the score, which is the one most commonly used by orchestras today. Judd successfully leads his forces in an exquisitely played performance that isn't far removed from what you'd expect from the best orchestras in North America and Europe. At this price, it is absolutely a steal, and one worth owning for another fine interpretation of Mahler's 1st symphony.

Slow to get started.......2005-08-22
This is a live performance that gets better as it goes on. While conjuring a beautifully balanced introduction with wonderfully balanced horns within the string harmonics, the main theme of the first movement is a little four-square. It seems that Rattle is determined to make it a real first-subject tune, worthy of its symphonic context, rather than indulge its fahrenden Gesellen ancestry with the more relaxed, gemutlich feel that, say, a Barbirolli gives it. This desire to emphasise the classical strengths of the movement leads Rattle into more exaggerated speeding up and slowing down than we expect from him in Mahler, usually in an attempt to point up the architectural structure of the music. It ends up feeling a bit too pulled about and a little flat.
The second landler movement sounds as if it is going to go on in the same vein. The main section here is bit plain-Jane, too - neither the energy of a Horenstein or a Bernstein nor the wonderfully Breughelian pesante stomp of Barbirolli (either with the Halle or, especially, with the NYPO). But then we get lift off. The trio suddenly starts to sparkle with wonderfully lifted waltz rhythms. It's as if the gears have all suddenly engaged. Rattle's slow movement is alive to all its startling changes of mood - the heavy tramp of the Huntsman's funeral (it's said to be based on a Caillot painting of the woodland animals burying their persecutor, set to a dirge-like minor-key Frere Jacques or Bruder Martin): then Austrian town-band oom-pah: then wild, excitable klezmer-style dance music: and then the sad but beautiful sounds of the heartbroken lover from the second fahrenden Gesellen song in this symphony, 'Die zwei blauen Augen'. All these elements work together by setting off flashes and reflections of each other from their close juxtaposition.
The funeral march treads to its tam-tam coloured end and, with a great shriek from the orchestra, we're off on the finale (Rattle is always very good at getting his producers to obey Mahler's instructions for the pauses between movements). Like many Mahler finales (e.g. 2, 6, 7, 8) this can sound diffuse and unstructured in the wrong hands. Here Rattle's ability to hold things together with real symphonic cohesion does work. The second subject soars on the strings as it should, the return to the very opening of the symphony seems absolutely right in context and the peroration is suitably triumphant. This is as fine a reading of this movement as you'll find.
On this disc, you also get 'Blumine' for your money, the movement that Mahler borrowed for the symphony from his incidental music for Der Trompeter von Sakkingen but later rejected. It is first on the disc, but you can obviously progamme it into context if that's the way you want to hear the symphony. Personally I think Mahler was right, charmingly sentimental though the movement is. It gets a suitably atmospheric reading from Rattle here.

Leif Segerstam's unsung Mahler cycle offers outstanding performances of Symphonies No. 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9, and very good versions of Symphonies No. 4 and 5. Elsewhere, Segerstam can be a bit perverse--particularly in the dementedly slow first movement of Symphony No.2--but he's a first-class musician, and he brings great conviction to everything that he does. Not a first recommendation, perhaps, but Mahler fans will still have a good time. --David Hurwitz
