Gustav Mahler, piano

Recorded 2009

Mahler did not leave any recordings to us, so this is all the more valuable, as it is the only audio document in which we can sense Mahler as a living musician, preserving as it does his pianistic style. It comprises of four of Mahler’s compositions which he recorded in Leipzig on a Welte piano in 1905. Mahler’s original Bluthner grand piano was used in this recording.
