MITROPOULOS CONDUCTS MAHLER - Symphonies 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9 & 10

Review

“Many collectors will have heard these performances one way or another, but Music & Arts isn’t kidding when it tells us that these performances were remastered in 1998 “from the best available sources.” The live sound is great, considering its age. (Credit goes to Maggi Payne.) Furthermore, six and a fraction Mahler symphonies on six well-filled CDs, and for the price of four, is a bargain. But all this good stuff would be as useless as a preacher in a house of ill-repute if it weren’t for the blazing nature of the musicianship. Our Editor usually passes Mitropoulos discs my way because he knows I sympathize, so perhaps my opinions are biased. Nevertheless, I think I am speaking reasonably when I say that all good Mahlerians will want these discs. No, they will need them. That Mitropoulitans such as myself will have to have them is predictable, and only right. In short, this is a fabulous collection: an orgy of great music interpreted greatly.”

—Raymond Tuttle, Fanfare Sept/Oct 1998
