Symphonies Nos 1 & 9 on CD

This recording project collaboration of Paul Kletzki with the Israel Philharmonic was the first time the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra was recorded by a major international recording company. EMI sent recording teams from London to Tel-Aviv in 1954 and 1956 to record the IPO & Kletzki in works by Mahler, Schumann, Mendelssohn and Schönberg. Kletzki was an early advocate of Mahler's works - this recording of the 9th symphony was just the second studio recording of that symphony. These recordings were distributed internationally for many years. This release - the recipient of a Diapason d'Or from France - is their first re-release on compact disc and digital platforms
