A must hear for all Mahler enthusiasts!

There are moments in this work that sound a great deal like Mahler but in the first movement I notice a definite Brucknerian influence. What is amazing is that Mahler may have been influenced by this work. It does NOT decrease the originality of Mahler's genius. It does define the link between Bruckner and Mahler and yet Rott still presents new original ideas. If the first movement is Bruckner and the third is Mahler, the whole Symphony is an original creation of a remarkable young man. The great tragedy is that he died too soon to make his mark on the world! Take some time to hear the whole work. Quite amazing!
