Negative Positive
Title: In the top tier of Mahler 3's
Review: Why all the hubub about Horenstien's 3rd? It's been bested by more than one conductor over the years and MTT is one of them. The energy contatined in this performance makes this recording more than a match for Horenstien's version and just about all others as well. If you want a recording of this symphony (and why wouldn't you?) this recording, Salonen's recording with the LAPO, or Lopez-Cobos's with the Cincinnati Symphony are the ones to go with. Horenstien's is very good, but this is better.
Is the review positive or negative?
