This Yarlung release features Gerard Schwarz conducting Gustav Mahler’s Fifth Symphony. Maestro Schwarz’s celebrated tenures as music director of both the LA Chamber Orchestra and the Seattle Symphony included the making of over 100 recordings, many seeing re-release through Naxos. The Colburn Orchestra is the flagship ensemble of the Colburn Conservatory of Music, one of the nation’s leading conservatories for highly talented college-age students pursuing intensive instrumental performance training. “Without question, among the finest orchestras in the world.” – Gerard Schwarz
