3.0 out of 5 stars Some outstanding performances, 25 Nov 2008
By Scriabinmahler (Cambridge UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Haitink's Mahler was where I started my search for ultimate recording for each symphony, and the first introduction to Mahler's music was Haitink's mahler 9th which impressed me enormously but quickly disappointed me as I found more and more greater recordings. It was same with Haitink's sluggishly slow 5th and the rather tame 8th which quickly found their way to a local secondhand shop.

Of all the recordings by Haitink, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th still stay on my shelves. 2nd is one of the finest among all 2disc recordings of the symphony, the climax being more expanssive and profound than many other recordings. That is same with 3rd with beautifully crafted and very moving last movement. 4th is wonderfully vivid and the slow movement is played very slowly with profound sense of sorrow. Ameling's youthful singing is very refreshing.

So the question is, is it worth paying more than £50 to get only three great recordings included? To me more satisfying complete sets are Kubelik's lavishing accounts (points : 9 out of 10) and Solti's gritty and powerful recordings (8 out of 10). With other conductors like Bernstein, Levine, Abbado, Sinopli, I would recommend picking juicy parts only to save your money. One lesson I've learned after buying so many Mahler CDs is that there isn't such a thing as the ultimate recording.

4.0 out of 5 stars Safely Recommendable - High Quality Overall, 12 Nov 1999
By A Customer
These recordings, along with his Bruckner, are well known recordings of Mahler for a long time. This CD conversion sounds better (to me) than their first issues, especially on the 3rd. Wished that this set has 1972 recording of the 1st (420 080-2 PH) instead of 1963. 1972 version is much better.
