5.0 out of 5 stars last recording quality & performance matches the great music!, 21 Mar 2008
By Scriabinmahler (Cambridge UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This is one of those recordings that are so great that any comparison is meaningless. But I try anyway. Interpretation-wise Slatkin's account is very similar to Haitink, broardly paced and well crafted. At the same time Slatkin follows Bernstein's golden rule that in Mahler symphonies every climax should be executed in full force, and manages to beat even Bernstein by earth-shattering bang in each movement.

Saint Louis SO is a top-class orchestra which plays just like Chicago SO or any great orchestras in the world. Battle/Forrester combination is really ideal for this music, as their singing is deeply emotional yet very natural without operatic fuss. Forrester captures the rapt serenity of Urlicht very well.

Most amazing of all is the final apotheosis. I thought it was impossible to capture the sheer volume of overwhelming sound as real as in concert hall - often volume level drops suddenly in the existing great recordings (the worst one is Ormandy's RCA stereo recording where engineers made mess of the otherwise greatest performance!) - but Telarc's engineers have done wonderful job to accommodate the gigantic dynamic-range. The sound is not only big, but astonishingly opulent, open and detailed. Even organ sounds so alive.

The only problem with this CD is that I can play it only when my neighbours are not at home. I set the volume 12 o'clock to experience the full force of the performance from the 1st movement, and then when the music reached the last climax in the last movement, it was so loud that I got complaint from my neighbours!

Other MUST-HAVE great recordings of M2 are;

Walter NYP Sony
Stokowski BBC Prom Live BBC Legend (another mammoth performance!)
Kubelik DG
Kubelik Bavarian Radio SO Live Audite
Klemperer EMI
Klemperer Bavarian Radio SO Live EMI
Solti LSO & Chicago DECCA
Sinopoli DG
Haitink BPO Philips
Levi Atlanta Telarc

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, - just too many notes., 8 April 2009
... [This] work is ingenious. It's quality work. And there are simply too many notes, that's all.
Still gave 5 out of 5 as I hoped to grow larger ears some day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best recorded Mahler 2nd, 21 Mar 2008
This is certainly the best recorded Resurrection ever. The sheer scale and force of the final climax is just overwhelmimg. 1st movement is a bit too slow for my taste and I miss gritty rough edge of Kubelik or Klemperer, but never the less it is far greater than other so called great performances. Kathleen Battle is a wonderful Mahler singer, as in Maazel's Mahler 4th Sony recording.
