One of the reviewers said something like,

"In 35 years of my life in the past, this recording has been the greatest Mahler experience."

That's quite a statement, isn't it?

Leo,

Nope. After I heard the online order to this place is not safe anymore I hesitated to place my order. Was yours safe?

Yes, I ordered on more than one occasion and everything worked out okay.  I have a fraud protection plan and I called to make sure everything was fine.

Looks like the Kobayashi M9 timings are very close to Bertini's, I wonder if the performance is similar also?
The Bertini is one of my favorites.

28:12, 16:00, 13:54, 28:34
