"I thought a lot about this and nailed it down between Bernstein and Mehta. I went with Bernstein; Mehta's brass isn't always together and his 1st mvt sounds more angry than a funeral march ought to be"
"The best 4th mvt of Mahler's 4th I've heard so far. Unfortunately, the Lieder has serious intonation problems and an overzealous (in my opinion) mezzo-soprano --- look elsewhere."
"Impeccable playing (the only big mistake I heard was a cracked note by the trumpet soloist at 14:15 in mvt IV), though a little sterile (I'm still hunting)."
"The brass playing is spectacular, as are the choirs. The vocal soloists are good as well, but the recording makes them sound distant (which is understandable, though unfortunate)."
