It's really excellent just as his VPO recording is. The difference is the orchestra. Of the two, the London Symphony Orchestra may be more experienced in playing Mahler, although I love the lavishing sound of the VPO.

This is awesome, thanks for sharing. The Andante is right around 14 minutes, which is even a bit swifter than his studio recording with the VPO. And the hammers sound great. In other words, this should replace his studio recording!

barryguerrero:
Cool. I'll check this out later.

John Kim:
I wonder why LSO didn't release the recording. Perhaps they're afraid it wouldn't sell well (the Boulez/VPO had been around just 5 years by that time). But I really like the way LSO digs into the score with all the panache and aplomb which this orchestra is famous for.

"panache and aplomb"    .    .   .   I think we had those for dessert last week   ;)
