Symphony No. 7 E minor - New Critical Edition by The International Gustav Mahler Society - orchestra - score - ( BB 2248 )

In the meantime, the standard of other complete editions with their comprehensive critical apparatuses has found acceptance in the Mahler edition as well. Times have changed: Mahler now ranks among the most successful composers and has become important for the publishers. Objections have been removed. As a consequence, it was high time to do justice to this work by thoroughly preparing a new edition including a new musical typography and performance material that is consistent with the score. It is hard to believe but checking through the sources again uncovered a host of passages, mistakes even, that are in need of improvement. (R. Kubik) The first performance of this edition took place at the Gasteig Philharmonic Hall on 8 March 2007 with the Bavarian Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Mariss Jansons.
