This is a legendary recording and performance. Great to see it is available now here in high-rei format.
perhaps the finest ever recording of Mahler's 4th now in sound that does the original full justice. Keith
Certainly amongts the top 3 or 4 best versions. Again HDTT DSD remastering is the very best! A must hear for Mahler fans!
The enduring charm and classic status of this performance rest on the beauty and exactitude of the orchestral playing and the grace and poise with which it unfolds. These features, especially for someone who likes a bright sound and transparent textures, are enriched and enhanced by this remastering far beyond what could be heard through the veil of the original engineering and subsequent cleanups. Mahlerites who find Szell’s account emotionally undernourished should give this version a try to hear rhythmic and harmonic details previously smudged.
