GRAMOPHONE CRITICS' CHOICE

'It is completely impossible to estimate what music has lost in him. His First Symphony soars to such heights of genius that it makes him – without exaggeration – the founder of the New Symphony as I understand it' (Gustav Mahler)

'A revelation … the source for a suprising number of what one always assumed to be Mahler's own themes, but it also proved to be a work that … has an integrity and an individual sound world of its own' (The Musical Times)

'Nobody pursuing authenticity in Mahler can afford to ignore Rott's precocious symphony' (The Sunday Times)

'Definitely one of my records of the year' (BBC Record Review)

'A revelation' (The Washington Post)

'Very strongly recommended' (CD Review, USA)

'Readers should investigate this issue without delay' (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)
