This performance, which respects the narrative style of the work itself rather than romantic exaggeration, has great appeal in that it presents "The Giant" in a natural way as an epic tale of youth.
Kubelik, who holds a special place in Mahler interpretations, depicts the youthful vitality and hymn to nature inherent in the work without exaggeration, yet passionately.
The entire recording is permeated with a flowing sense of composition and a highly transparent sound. The tight ensemble and rich tone of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra clearly bring out Mahler's characteristic multi-layered orchestration.
