“Today marks the 100th anniversary of the premiere of Mahler’s Ninth Symphony. On 26 June 1912, this extraordinary, of ten febrile work was first performed in the Goldener Saal of the Musikverein. It was played by the Wiener Philharmoniker and conducted by Bruno Walter. Despite the significance of the occasion, old habits died hard and the local press reported that Mahler’s final completed symphony was not a patch on the trumpeted glories of the Eighth.”
