Amazed and thrilled to discover this, tho' beware, it's not for those who can't cope with substandard sound.
This performance is also a bit closer than usual to performance practice in Mahler's time.

I shan't offer an opinion on the performance till others have had a chance to listen.

A fascinating find. Thanks for this.
Healthy doses of rubato throughout the movement. I quite liked his interpretation. Perhaps just on the slower side of things, but I don't like hearing this movement rushed. Even in the poor sound, I think you can hear some nice, lush, and idiomatic string playing.
