5.0 out of 5 stars Deeply Felt Live Performance, 9 Nov 2008
By Scriabinmahler (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   

This live recording of 3rd by Kubelik has more urgency & spontanuity than his DG recording. It is not note perfect, yet powerful & deeply felt performance with much emphasis on brass & with every part on the score articulated. Must for anyone who loves this wonderfully complex symphony.

4.0 out of 5 stars Valid First Choice 3rd. Complements DG Recording., 24 Feb 2007
By PhilsterNo1 (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Rafael Kubelik's studio Mahler cycle on DG is just about the most recommendable set on the market. The live cycle being put together by Audite complements it very well and in some instances surpasses the studio cycle.

A matter of days separate this Third from its studio counterpart. It has all the merits of its predecessor, but with the added and crucial bonus that it is more intelligently split between the two discs; where DG put the adagio alone on the second CD, audite wisely do things in reverse, leaving the gargantuan first movement alone and placing the other five on Disc 2.

Bavarian Radio's sound is airier and more akin to the genuine concert hall experience. Kubelik's conducting is taut, well-paced and lyrically minded: the BRSO provide plenty of fire and enthusiasm as required. If I have any misgivings, they relate to the prosaic posthorn epidodes in the third movement (better things were achieved in the studio). Perhaps Kubelik could have taken the closing bars a fraction slower, but this is not a serious fault. Otherwise, although not exquisite, expect powerful, energised and committed playing in a recording that laregly avoids all this symphony's pitfalls. Seek this one out, even if you already have the DG.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exciting live performance that needs the volume turned up, 23 Aug 2009
By Colin Fortune (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Until DGG start to issue all of the excellent late 1960's set of the Mahler symphonies individually, the only way of acquiring Kubelik's very fine interpretation of Mahler's biggest symphony on its own is by buying this Audite recording. The Baverian Radio air check is transferred at rather a low level and this means that a loud playback volume is necessary in order to achieve the arresting effect of the trenchant opening that springs out of the speakers in the DGG version Mahler: Complete Symphonies in the full set (but this will cost you anything up to £60.00 at present). The snare drums at the end of the second development section in the first movement,for example, are almost inaudible. Turn the volume up, however, and you have an immensely exciting performance, obviously based on the approach used in the commercial recording but most certainly, in the first and third movemements, taking off in blistering fashion

As other reviews have noted, this live performance took place within days of the studio recording and the differences are mainly in the more excitable approach to certain areas of the long first movement and the third movement (Comodo) which ends superbly well.

Kubelik's version of the Mahler 3 deserves to be heard. If you have the complete symphony set there is no real reason to buy this version unless you are a devotee. If you do not have the complete set then you are missing out on very fine recordings of symphonies 1,2,3,5 and 9 and quite acceptable recordings of the other works (if you can cope witht he very fast tempo in Symphony 6 first movement). But if you need a Mahler 3 and have good amplification, you could comsider this one. Horenstein's London Symphony Orchestra recording is more measured throughout but adopts the same basic approach, so you could consider that as an alternative Mahler: Symphony No.3.
