Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Mahler's longest and most kaleidoscopic symphony has been getting more attention in recent years both on concert schedules and on discs, such as Esa-Pekka Salonen's brilliant interpretation. It's a tall order to pull off, whether in the tremendously vivid details of Mahler's score or the overall pantheistic vision that holds its colossal structure together.

Andrew Litton has so far proved himself a solid Mahler conductor, with a respectable Second Symphony in his quiver, the previous instalment of a continuing cycle. But this live Third puts him in the top rank. Litton shows a fantastic ear for those details, which actually seem to pullulate in the first movement. His approach is clear-headed, with a vertical sense of musical events that is riveting. You may not be as tempted to air conduct as in Bernstein's magnificent vision or in another gold standard, the Jascha Horenstein account, but Litton's stewardship clearly signals a general shift away from the indulgences of more subjective Mahler interpretations from decades past.

The clarity that results is revealing, whether in the shimmering wonders of the posthorn music or the lovingly unfolded final paean. Delos's "virtual reality recording" sound is superbly realistic. --Thomas May

5.0 out of 5 stars Litton's landmark 3rd, 8 Oct 2006
This recording of Mahler's 3rd Symphony is one of the very best available on disc, a great achievement for Andrew Litton after his good interpretation of Mahler's 2nd.

Mahler is undoubtedly one of the greatest late romantic/modern symphonists and probably my favorite. He is known for lengthy works and his symphonies in particular are enjoying a new rejuvanation. It is quite clear that the best of the Mahler recordings do not always include big names, and indeed this recording is proof that this type of work can be practised to perfection by any orchestra and recorded to meet the top ranks (not to take anything away from the world class DSO).

Probably the greatest thing that this recording offers is the quality of the vocals. Nathalie Stutzman offers a deep and thoroughly satisfying contralto, and The Texas Boys Choir sound as if they could not be rivalled by anybody. In my opinion this could well be the finest recording available in terms of vocal treatment.

Lytton's pacing throughout the whole work is assured and brilliant. He never indulges into a stodgy funeral pace in the many slow sections and the fast sections of the work are exceptionally played to bring out every note and phrase at the correct pace. Lytton really knows how to use his orchestra and he always knows when to let individual instruments play out from the orchestra.

Delos record this piece with a "virtual reality" sound, it balances all of the orchestra brilliantly and is utterly crisp and exceptional stereo recording.

This is a recording to perfection, every aspect of orchestra, solos and direction is faultless throughout and I believe this recording is the best available, indeed it is essential in the Mahler symphony series. Other great recording of this work include the Bernstein, Levine, Salonen, and Kubelik interpretations.
