An excellent Mahler Cycle

The list author says:
	"The first disk of an Abbado-heavy cycle. This is becoming difficult to get hold of. Abbado's first concert as Conductor of the Berlin Phil, an account with great energy."

The list author says:
	"Abbado's new orchestra in Lucerne formed of international soloists and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra - it doesn't get better than this live recording."

The list author says:
	"The DVD version of the recording above - see the commitment as well as hearing it"

The list author says:
	"Abbado's legendary concert of Mahler's third. Unlike most live recordings which are edits of several evenings, here this is a single performance, so no edits; pure emotion. Truly breathtaking."

The list author says:
	"The latest recording from Lucerne (2007) clearly shows how Abbado's approach to Mahler has changed over the years. A fantastic recording, almost too perfect."

The list author says:
	"The new live recording of the 4th from Abbado - spectacular."

The list author says:
	"This live 1993 recording from the Berlin Phil and Abbado is a excellent account of an often misunderstood and unconventional symphony."

The list author says:
	"Far exceeding his CD recording above, this is truly amazing. Also includes a conductor camera so you can watch Abbado from the orchestra's perspective."

The list author says:
	"This live LSO performance of Mahler's sixth is certainly powerful. The CD recreates the concert very faithfully. Jansons in his prime."

The list author says:
	"A new live recording from Abbado and the Berliner Philharmoniker, perhaps more sumptuous and beautiful than the LSO Live recording, though lacking some of the punch."

The list author says:
	"From 2006 this recording from Lucerne has the best of the LSO and Berlin recordings. This is the one to get."

The list author says:
	"While Abbado's previous Chicago recording was very good, it cannot compete with this live performance - some bad editing though."

The list author says:
	"Better, however, is his new recording from Lucerne."

The list author says:
	"The most emotional account of this symphony available. This far exceeds Solti's 'legendary' performance."

The list author says:
	"This live recording fits the symphony onto one disk at 81mins. The silence before the applause shows how emotional this concert was."

The list author says:
	"A new DVD of Abbado and the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra playing the 9th - better even than his Berlin recording above"

The list author says:
	"This live recording of the Cooke performing edition is certainly the best around."
