Introduction/Abstract

Czech Philharmonic · Semyon Bychkov

KABELÁČ · MAHLER

Mahler's «Fifth» is probably the composer's most popular symphony, thanks in part to its use in Visconti's film «Death in Venice». Semyon Bychkov brings his long association with this work to Grafenegg with the Czech Philharmonic, who Mahler himself conducted at the premiere of his seventh symphony in 1907.
