"The symphonies of Mahler are among the most important in the orchestra repertoire, and they have been widely recorded by numerous orchestras and conductors. One rendition which often seems to be passed up however, is this one, with renowned American director James Conlon and the Guzenich Orchestra, the same orchestra that originally premiered the symphony back in 1904.I happen to like this rendition. The Guzenich plays with a clear tone and brings out a solid performance, from those opening brass fanfares to the deeply felt Adagietto for strings and harp. At a great budget price, I highly recomend this one."
