Mahler

All the same things we didn’t like the first time(s) around [SV]

(Déjà Review) An impressive interpretation of this extroverted work in a festival-quality performance [JZ]

A very distinguished account of Mahler’s Ninth [JQ]

(Déjà Review) Don’t miss this issue, dear reader [GF]

Sheds a different light on Mahler’s masterpiece [JQ]

Sheer beauty of sound coupled with high drama in a stunning live performance [RMo]

Doesn’t surpass my favourite versions [JQ]

A very mixed bag; several symphonies are superb, especially in terms of orchestral playing and sound engineering, but several fall short [RMo]

(Déjà Review) Not to be missed [DM]

A very significant Mahler cycle [JQ]

An erratic, unsettling account of a symphony which needs steadier, more coherent governance [RMo]

A highly satisfying and logical pairing, well-remastered and showcasing both Boult’s and Thebom’s eminence in Mahler [RMo]

An important survey of one of the great partnerships of the 20th century at its peak [DHa]

A fascinating, marvellously presented anthology [JQ]

An impressive Mahler 5 in superb sound [DHa]

Zinman’s restraint tames the excesses of the Carpenter reconstruction but lacks impact [RMo]

(Déjà Review) One of the finest recordings of these Mahler songs by today’s leading interpreter of these works [KM]

Broad and relaxed, clearly articulated but without the contrasting fire and anguish of the best version [RMo]

The frequent coughing and only intermittently satisfactory soloists make this a bit of a trial [RMo]

A dark horse account of Mahler’s Tenth Symphony to rival any other [RMo]

A highly competent reading which lacks ferocity and excitement at key moments [RMo]

A notable addition to the discography of Das Lied von der Erde [JQ]

Another demonstration of Morris’s overt emotional expression [RMo]

A thoroughly convincing account, full of warmth, character and emotion [RMo]
