I rather like it. Coming to the work newly, Dorati offers some fresh, noteworthy interpretive touches and it sounds very convincing overall.

When Dorati was music director of the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, DC back in the 'seventies, I heard him in live performances of all the Mahler symphonies, save M7 and M8.  All of those were excellent performances from what then was a middling orchestra, but the most memorable for me as a listener was his M6.  I was in the chorus for his performances of M2.

Incidentally, for those of you who are fans of Dorati as I am, here is a website dedicated to this conductor:  http://www.dorati.com/index.html
