Music Reviews of Mahler: Symphony No. 3

Music Review: My favorite Mahler
Rating: 5 Stars

If some one points a gun at my head, forcing me to pick 1 recording out of all those heart-and-soul performances of 1 symphony out of the 10 master pieces by Mahler, this is it. The Abbado/VPO combo is just perfect. The Italian opera conductor in Abbado inserts the the right dose of Drama and colorfulness into VPO's superb tonal ballance. The recording was very well engineered (given the technology available then). It captured so much detail and every single instrument was very well defined. If an almost-2-hour-long symphony doesn't turn you off, this is a must have for you.

Music Review: Maybe the best recording, not the best performance
Rating: 4 Stars

Although this Abbado may be the best recording, it is not the best performance. That credit will likely always go to the old Horenstein performance with the London Symphony. IT is one of those things so rare, no one will even discount it!
