Title: Operatic Mahler 8th
Review: Davis gives very unique & epic account of 8th with much emphasis on solo parts (or simply microphones were too close?). It is too operatic in conception to my taste to be first recommendation, but solists sing their heart out in most moving way and the expansive climax has earth-shattering effect. Overall, it is like a long voyage towords the final apotheosis rather than a single transformation.
