Title: Mahler by the metronome
Product review: I banished this recording from my collection long ago. The first movement is so stiff it sounds like it is being conducted by a metronome. Most CD sets will isolate the first movement on the first disc to honor the composer's instructions for a pause, and then follow with the remaining movements on disc two. The grouping here of movements 1-2 and 3-4-5 shows inattentiveness from the production team. Avoid.
