the sound is not everything ...

Solti is a leader who has great achievements to its credit, particularly in Wagner, Strauss, mozart but also great failures (beethoven!) .... This integral Mahler, the first order of his, does not weight facing competition: a failed titan, lacking spontaneity, even hesitant ... we prefer the previous version with the London Philharmonic always with Decca, already with a big sound. A resurrection to the addendum (london prefer) it s' bored as in the 3rd, the 4th, or even the chief had accustomed us better with the Concertgebouw of Amsterdam .... the 5 th level rises The 6th and 7th by cons, are real successes, phew! .... The 8th does not mention the version come, but excellent sinned by his coldness dull way .... the 9th concluded that integral. considering the price, we will simply look for the two symphonies (6 and 7) in isolated issue.
