Anybody care to venture how good or bad this might be?

I might be more interested in the trumpet concerto. Hakan Hardenburger is amazing.

Yeah, but it's a modern 'horror show' of a piece - not really my cup of tea. If it were Jenni' Higdon, I'd be more interested.

I don't mind the 'horror show' if it's something for trumpet. I like to see how far the instrument can be pushed. As for the M2, I need another one like I need a hole in the head.

I see your point. I have two perfectly good DVD's of M2 myself (Boulez, Chailly). I am curious about the combination of Nelsons and the VPO. I saw him do two concerts with the VPO in Berkeley and they were terrific. Then again, the VPO could stick Clint Eastwood's empty chair up there, and they'd still sound spectacular.

Here is an uninterrupted video of the ending of Nelsons/BSO M2nd.

Is this DVD Nelsons' FIRST commercial recording of Mahler?

Finally, a really good second timpani crescendo on the very final chord. This was kind of weird, because obviously it was shot from the front row, stage right (looking at the stage); yet, the sound quality seemed better than what some hand held unit would normally get. Anyway, this dvd may be worth looking into.
