1.  Mahler: Symphony No.1 by G. Mahler

Mahler: Symphony No.2 "Resurrection"

£8.90   Used & New from: £6.95
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Mahler - Symphony No 3
3.  Mahler - Symphony No 3 by Gustav Mahler
The list author says:
  "A cool, late Kandinsky tapestry; epic and complex, but filled to the brim with color and form, so much so, one can repeatedly lose oneself with it for hours on end"
£26.00   Used & New from: £19.79
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

4.  Symphony No 4 (Boulez, Cleveland Orchestra) [Sacd/CD Hybrid] by Gustav Mahler

Mahler: Symphony No.5
5.  Mahler: Symphony No.5 by Gustav Mahler
The list author says:
  "His approach has been strongly Debussian & this 5th is a pointed example. A 'Jeux'-like diaphanous prism  projected from the shedding of skin"
£15.46   Used & New from: £3.00
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Mahler: Symphony No.6 "Tragic"
6.  Mahler: Symphony No.6 "Tragic" by Wiener Philharmoniker^Pierre Boulez
The list author says:
  "Bludgeoned to death with an icicle. As impassioned in it's display of incisive coloring as Bernstein was in his sculptural molding."
£13.39   Used & New from: £4.46
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Mahler: Symphony No.7 "Song Of The Night"
7.  Mahler: Symphony No.7 "Song Of The Night" by Mahler
The list author says:
  "A Pierrot-like lyricism permeates Boulez's performance of Mahler's most surreal work. Almost cubist, this 7th more than justifies Schoenberg's pronouncement as the death of romanticism"
£11.53   Used & New from: £4.49
3.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Symphony No. 8 : Symphony of a Thousand
8.  Symphony No. 8 : Symphony of a Thousand by Mahler
The list author says:
  "An 8th of contrasts. The divine as feminine lover bathed in angular rays of browns & blues. Contrary to the image of the 8th as a throwback, Boulez's 8th fits perfectly between the 7th and DLVDE"
£12.00   Used & New from: £7.27
3.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

Mahler: Symphony No.9
9.  Mahler: Symphony No.9 by Chicago Symphony Orchestra
The list author says:
  "This 9th has all the haunted, Berg-like dark beauty of a Tahitian pearl with exquisite details revealing those all important glimmers of dark greens, blues & reds against a stark, black background."
£13.90   Used & New from: £5.49
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Das Lied von der Erde
10.  Das Lied von der Erde by Gustav Mahler
The list author says:
  "This, with the 5-7th, 9th & the unfinished 10th, is Mahler at his most progressive. This performance echoes this & serves as a much needed antidote to a repertoire that is dangerously becoming stale"
£17.02   Used & New from: £12.04
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Mahler: Song Cycles
11.  Mahler: Song Cycles by Violeta Urmana^Thomas Quasthoff
The list author says:
  "Boulez coaxes both players and singers into producing sensuous sounds and colors which could come straight out the most transparent  & lucid Klimt paintings"
£9.99   Used & New from: £5.98
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Mahler: Symphony No.2 [DVD] [2007]
