Honeck's Fifth has been out for a couple of months-- a tremendous recording with pretty astounding brass playing by the PSO's principals. Exton's DSD sonics are amazing, too, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607352.post-754599284838829342012-04-28T14:46:04.616-05:002012-04-28T14:46:04.616-05:00I heard a recording of the Mahler First by this co...I heard a recording of the Mahler First by this conductor with the BBC orchestra some years ago. A CD of it was included with an issue of the BBC music magazine. I've never forgotten it. It introduced me to Mahler and I've never heard a First since then that was better. A haunting performance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607352.post-11768514240764721772012-04-23T03:37:22.774-05:002012-04-23T03:37:22.774-05:00My bad - I should have updated my copy since writi...My bad - I should have updated my copy since writing it, about a year ago.jflhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03017753357752263113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607352.post-32199611066447846892012-04-22T17:23:40.764-05:002012-04-22T17:23:40.764-05:00The price is intimidating, but the critics have be...The price is intimidating, but the critics have been in consensus so far.

The reviews for this look good, but the price is a bit too high for now.<br /><br />I can't really justify adding to my already 70+ disc Mahler collection at $25 for a single disc. Hopefully the price comes down soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
