Gustav Mahler: Symphonies 1–9

Bychkov's recordings of all Mahler symphonies are regarded by many critics as the Mahler cycle of the 21st century.

The Czech Philharmonic is one of the most historically important orchestras in Europe with a chief conductor who is internationally recognized for his structural ability and interpretative integrity. Mahler symphonies form the core of his programme with the Prague orchestra since 2018, when Bychkov began his tenure as chief conductor and music director with performances of Mahler's Symphony No. 2. The orchestra occupies a special place in the geographical and cultural identity of Mahler: Mahler was born and grew up in Bohemia; he completed his first symphony shortly after a year-long stay in Prague. The unmistakable voices of Christiane Karg, Elisabeth Kulman, David Butt Philip, Adam Plachetka, the Czech Philharmonic Choir and other first-rate singers complete an ideal cast for this uncompromising high-quality complete recording.
