INFORMATION
The Netherlands Symphony Orchestra
The first performance of the Symphonische Dichtung in Zwei Abtheilungen (Symphonic Poem in Two Parts), Later his First Symphony, was conducted by Mahler in Budapest on 20 November 1889. It got a cool if not hostile reception, mainly because of the ‘bizarre, vulgar and cacophonic extravaganza’s’ of the last two movements. At least this was how it was felt, with the public and the critics in bewilderment especially after the finale’s unsurpassed ferocity. The final chords were followed by utter silence, until a few members of the audience hesitantly began to applaud, quickly interspersed with demonstrative sounds of disapproval. Mahler left the hall in devastation, roaming through the dark streets, like an ‘outcast’. Such hostility we cannot imagine anymore with this wonderful music today.
The version which is used on this recording is the 1893-restored version. It comprises two parts and five movements. Part one, called ‘Aus den Tagen der Jugend’: (From the Days of Youth): ‘Blumen-, Frucht- und Dornstücke’ (Flower-Fruit-and-Thorn-Pieces), contains the first three movements: 1. Spring goes on and on; 2. Andante – allegretto (‘Blumine’) and 3. Scherzo (‘Full Sail’). Part two, ‘Commedia umana’ (Human comedy), consists of 4. Funeral March in Callot’s manner and 5. Finale: From Inferno to Paradise.

De Vriend gooit zijn ervaring als operadirigent in de strijd om deze geweldige muziek sterk theatraal te laten klinken, met over het algemeen behoorlijk voortvarende tempi. De opname is fraai en de SACD laag voegt nog net wat detaillering en sfeer toe. Jan Luijsterburg - HiFi.nl - maart 2010
De Vriend throws all his experience as an opera conductor for this great music to let it sound very theatrical, with generally good energetic tempi. The recording is beautiful and the SACD layer adds some detail and atmosphere. Jan Luijsterburg - HiFi.nl - March 2010
Jan Willem de Vriend presenteert met zijn orkest een prachtige heldere uitvoering waarin alle - zoals Mahler het wilde - instrumenten optimaal zijn te horen. WZ - Mania Klassiek - Voorjaar 2010.
Jan Willem de Vriend and his orchestra presents a wonderful and clear performance - like Mahler wanted it - where the instruments are optimal to be heard. WZ - Mania klassiek - Maart 2010
De inzetten zijn direct, de toon is onverschrokken en de tempi zijn voortvarend. Andrew van Parijs - Klassieke Zaken - feb 2010
The start of every note is direct, the tone is fearless and the tempos are energetic. Andrew Paris - Klassieke Zaken - February 2010
Wat deze Eerste apart maakt te midden van de vele die reeds bestaan en die vast nog zullen komen, is bovenal de versie: een Eerste symfonie inclusief het deel Blumine dat vele dirigenten weglaten. Emanuel Overbeeke - Luister -April/Mei 2010
What this First [Symphony] makes different among the many that already exist and those still to come down, is most of all the version: a First Symphony including the Blumine part that many conductors omit. Emanuel Overbeeke - Luister -April/Mei 2010
