5.0 out of 5 stars 30 years at the tope, 27 Feb 2004
By A Customer
Ever since it was recorded, this has been the benchmark recording. Without a trace of the emotionalism that mars so many Mahler recordings, it builds to a colossal and overwhelming climax. The long final movement is revealed as one of the high points of the Mahler canon. Utterly indispensable.

5.0 out of 5 stars The First and the Best, 6 Oct 2005
By D. Macnaughtan (Polmont, Stirlingshire Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I first heard this recording on Radio 3 shortly after its recording. I was recovering from bad flu in a lonely room in London in winter. I was a Mahler "virgin" all these years ago and this performance/recording made the greatest impression. I rushed from my sick bed to HMV Oxford St (it used to be opposite Selfridges!) and bought the vinyl LPs at great expense. I now have multiple recordings of much Mahler but this will always be my 1st love! I have recently invested in Sennheiser HD650 headphones with a Cardas cable and Grado RA-1 headphone amp - guess what the first recording was that went through this "to die for" set up?! They say I don't get out much now! Go and buy it - your life is not complete!

5.0 out of 5 stars Jascha Horenstein's Mahler 3, 8 Jan 2005
As far as Mahler is concerned, and as far as I'm concerned, mostly it's a case of Horenstein and everyone else. No other conductor let or lets the music speak for itself in the way that he did. This is a sensational performance, recorded not long before his death. Most of his recordings were, sadly, with bands not quite in the top flight, to say the least, but here he is with one of the world's great orchestras (and the wonderful Norma Proctor). And, like Ferenc Fricsay's superlative Verdi 'Requiem', you have that terrible sense of a man conducting music he loves with a knowledge that he will soon never be able to conduct or hear it again.
Recording quality isn't, of course, up to the latest standards, but despite that you would be seriously deluded not to make this your first choice for this wonderful and challenging symphony. IMHO only Bernstein comes close.
