Freddy van Maurik:
Listening to the Dudamel M5 right now. Very good, not the best. At this price, I think this is a wonderful set, a great addiction to my (already very nice ;)) Mahler-discothèque.

Cheers,
Freddy

I should correct myself: I haven't heard this particular Harding M1, but he conducted the symphony with the RCO around the same time. THAT one was good-not-great (to me).

I went back and skimmed through the rest of the performances available on their Digital Concert Hall. I do really like all of them. This is probably just going to be a very well-rounded set, like their Bruckner one, with no particularly weak links.

John Kim:
Like I said, I'd be interested in Harding M1, Nelsons M2, YNS M4, and Haitink M9. I will pass up the rest.

The booklet is an extremely detailed 128 pages. This is certainly meant to be an ideal set for beginners, much like the Bruckner one is.
The timings are as follows:

M1 - Harding
16:18, 7:58, 11:03, 20:03 = 55:22

M2 - Nelsons
24:00, 11:00, 10:55, 5:26, 35:48 = 87:09

M3 - Dudamel
33:34, 9:57, 17:48, 9:18, 4:18, 24:21 = 99:16

M4 - Nézet-Séguin
17:01, 9:55, 22:19, 9:26 = 58:41

M5 - Dudamel
12:40, 15:54, 18:18, 9:36, 14:59 = 70:27

M6 - Petrenko
23:14, 13:51 (A), 12:18 (S), 27:59 = 77:22

M7 - Rattle
21:32, 14:48, 10:21, 12:04, 17:21 = 76:06

M8 - Rattle
23:50, 54:22 = 78:12

M9 - Haitink
31:06, 17:21, 15:22, 25:49 = 89:38

The only real outlier here is Haitink, with a very lengthy first three movements of M9. Petrenko's M6 finale is pretty quick, too. They should have gone with one of the Rattle M9s they have on the Digital Concert Hall archive. They're even better than the EMI M9 release.
