A sleeper of Mahler Seventh comes from this unexpected source, Gerard Schwarz (a former music director of Seattle Symphony Orchestra) and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. In this Mahler’s most kaleidoscopic symphony, Schwarz elicits from the orchestra as wildly imaginative, idiosyncratic playing as one can hope for, perfectly delivering the moods and temper of the music as well as fulfilling the myriad instructions Mahler so scrupulously attached in the score. Interpretively, Schwarz isn’t doing much other than letting the music speak for itself. But aided by the superb playing and the fine sonics he manages to mold it into one of the most stimulating and exciting Mahler Sevenths in my recent memory. A winner by all accounts.

う〜ん、出来栄えはいま一つかな。妙に元気がよくて、陰の部分、繊細な抒情の部分がしっかり表わされていない感じです。また、あるフレーズ（ないしシークエンス）から次へ移る時に、最後を端折ってしまう感じの処理（変なアッチェレランドに聴こえる）が目立ちまして、流れが損なわれ落ち着かないこと夥しい。もう少し丁寧なお仕事をしてほしいなあ、と思いました。オケは健闘しています。パワーはもう一歩かな。録音は優秀。
