Solti's LSO Mahler 3
This performance finds Solti at his Soltiest; their is a tremendous amount of tension, everything's very focused and determined, and crucially, every climax is dialed up to 11. It's all very exciting, but other performances have found more sparkle and wonder in the first movement. Other's have founded Solti's handling of the final movement lacking, but I found it worked well enough. This shouldn't be your only recording of this, but at its best it is very exciting. The recording sounds well dialed up to 11, as is necessary for the full experience.
FranceA masterful version
One of the most beloved successes in the first Mahler integrum realized by Solti. Fantastic sound.
United KingdomMahler 3 Solti
I have most of HDTT’s classical remasterings. Without exception they are very good and most are brilliant. However I think this is among the very very best. Fabulous performance and glorious sound. EVERY Mahler lover should buy this.
