<< < (2/3) > >>

The first two movements of M7 are each a minute shorter than I would ideally want. As already pointed out, Haitink's M9 appears to be quite lengthy. I'll bet it's good, though. I still may get this set as a download.

erikwilson7:
I’ll let you know what I think once I get to hear them. For now I’m able to see the digital booklet on Primephonic, which contains the timings.

Oh, and M10 - Abbado is 25:07

barryguerrero:
I'm hoping you'll 'do' the Dudamel M3 before the Nelsons M2. I really like the dvd of Nelsons/VPO doing M2 at Salzburg.

erikwilson7:
I have access to the BPO’s Digital Concert Hall website and I’ve listened to parts of them all, but I’m sure the CDs will be mixed differently. I think they included the video performances on their website on the Blu-Ray discs.

I can say now that the Dudamel M3 is really quite good, if a bit dry and analytical, but once I get to hear the actual CD recordings I’ll let you know what I think.

I cannot understand why they didn’t include Abbado’s very fine Das Lied with Otter and Kaufmann from the Philharmonie, 2011. It was the 100th anniversary of Mahler’s death, and one of the finest Das Lied’s I’ve heard. Also, the box set cover is the earth, and they excluded The Song of the Earth?!

barryguerrero:
It might,   .    .  MIGHT have something to do with how much they would have to pay von Otter and Kaufmann. Also, the Abbado estate may have a say.
