Mahler
Mahler: Symphony No 8 (IMP Classics)
A magnificent recording with all the electricity of a live performance but none of the attendant flaws [RMo]
Mahler: Symphony No.10 (arr. Carpenter) (Delos)
Carpenter’s completion of the tenth – too much Carpenter and not enough Mahler? [RMo]
Mahler: Symphony No. 4 (Signum Classics)
(Déjà Review) A treasurable example of the work of a great conductor in repertoire with which he was not automatically associated [JQ]
Mahler: Symphony No. 10 (Naxos)
A cooler, more restrained account showcasing the leaner elaboration of Mahler’s draft score by Wheeler [RMo]
Mahler: Symphony 10 (SilverOak)
A weighty, expansive account, emotionally demonstrative and totally committed [RMo]
Mahler: Symphony No.2 (Warner Classics)
(Déjà Review) Acquire this superb new Mahler Second, but hang on to your copy of Rattle’s 1986 recording too [JQ]
Mahler: Symphony No.10 (Denon)
Another driven performance of Mahler’s Tenth, strong on propulsion but marred by some erratic gear-changes [RMo]
Mahler: Symphony 10 (High Definition Tape Transfers)
A hard-driven performance which takes no prisoners [RMo]
Mahler: Symphony No. 10 (Sony Classical)
Beautifully played and wholly coherent, this first commercial recording still deserves a place in every Mahlerian’s collection [RMo]
Mahler: Symphony No. 10 (BIS)
A fine account in first-rate sound, beautifully played, but missing the last ounce of desperation [RMo]
Mahler: Symphony No.7 (National Symphony Orchestra)
A Mahler Seventh with many fine qualities, but not a first choice [LW]
Mahler: Symphonies 5 & 10 (Brilliant Classics)
Every true, devoted Mahlerian needs to own these two recordings [RMo]
Mahler: Symphony No. 10 (Decca)
A poised, classical account, beautifully played and recorded, but occasionally lacking the last degree of intensity [RMo]
Mahler: Symphony No 10 (Berlin Classics)
Another fine account of Mahler‘s Tenth which will appeal to those who want a more direct, driven and cohesive concept [RMo]
Mahler: Symphony No 4 (Tudor)
(Déjà Review) Makes a strong impression [TB]
Mahler: Symphony No. 2 “Resurrection” (Hallé)
A considerable achievement [JQ]
Mahler: Symphony 10 (Warner Classics)
Another top echelon recording of the third version of Cooke’s reconstruction of Mahler’s Tenth Symphony [RMo]
Mahler: Symphony No 10 (Telarc)
An urgent, highly competent reading, but coarse and lacking heart [RMo]
Mahler: Symphony 10 (RCA/BBC Music)
Some byways in recordings of Mahler’s Tenth [RMo]
Mahler: Symphony 10 (Deutsche Grammophon)
A justly admired – indeed, near-perfect – account of Deryck Cooke’s third version of his completion of Mahler’s Tenth Symphony [RMo]
Mahler: Symphony No 2 (Hallé)
An outstanding performance that can be ranked with the finest recordings of the ‘Resurrection’ I have heard [MC]
Mahler: Symphony no. 2 (CSO Resound)
(Déjà Review) Points to an affinity between Haitink and the CSO in interpreting Mahler [JZ]
Mahler: Symphony 10 (Deutsche Grammophon)
A triumph, and one not to be missed [MJ]
Bartok: Piano Concerto 2 & Mahler: Symphony 5 (C major)
Bronfman excels in Bartók, Nelsons indulges in Mahler [LW]
