it's crazy how this package can pass the time without losing interest! carry-CD is wonderful at that. Here, no obvious failures, each symphony is of excellent workmanship (special mention to the titan and 3rd) even if there are better isolated on well. it's this consistency and integrity of the head that makes this a comprehensive reference footprint poetry and brilliance. it's rarely as balanced integral. I see that hardly Haitink / Amsterdam and Neumann to find this quality that motivates the purchase of an integral. Ideal to discover and enjoy Mahler. Perfect to serve as a benchmark. much like schruricht or Cluytens for belfry.
