I presume the asking price is a typo...

Yikes...and without a DLVdE, and the song cycles! It must be a typo.
Does this mean there is no DLVdE planned? :'(

Zinman's site made it seemed like things had wrapped up, however, I recall Gramophone talking about how his cycle would include everything. Note the linked article: http://www.gramophone.net/Issue/Page/June%202007/23/831310/David+Zinman (http://www.gramophone.net/Issue/Page/June%202007/23/831310/David+Zinman)
Zinman's Mahler cycle will be the most comprehensive yet recorded: the excised "Blumine" movement will be an optional extra alongside the First Symphony and he will also include both Deryck Cooke's performing edition of the unfinished Symphony No 10 and the cantata Das klagende Lied, composed when Mahler was 20 years old. He wants to tell the whole story, and with good reason: "You see in each work the expansion of an idea he's started already in this first symphony and also in his songs. These ideas keep growing and growing. At the time people thought this music was the rambling product of a deranged mind, but somehow — whether intuitively or intellectually — he does find elements that tie it all together. The symphonies are like one big novel.. .and when you get to the Ninth and Tenth symphonies and Das Lied von der Erde, it's a new world, like late Beethoven. I'm just sorry he died so young."

These seems to be SACD-only, and maybe they're Japanese imports (which are horrendously overpriced on the German Amazon).
The interview is from June 2007, and they *did* write that it would be the "most comprehensive". Hm, could it be that they changed plans, going for a separate release for "Das Lied"?

Notice the thing about the Cooke edition, too, instead of what we know is the Carpenter. Looks like we may need to take it with the proverbial grain of salt.
