John Kim:
I'm sure it has been archived for a furure CD release.

The symphony starts at around 48 min. into it.

John Kim:
This Seventh may well be Daniel Harding's BEST outing in Mahler thus far.  76 min. of glorious music making!

Awesome. Thank you John. Yeah, it seems the 'younger generation' are better attuned to Mahler 7 - none of that nonsense about the 7th being the bastard stepchild of Mahler symphonies. They know that's rubbish.

John Kim:
The sound on the link is fantastic, almost of a CD quality^

Enjoy!

Not a fan. This sounds breathless and lacking in depth, compared to Harding's performance of M7 with the BRSO just months ago. A measurement of the timings confirmed my suspicions. They look like this: I -19:25; II - 15:40; III - 8:55 (like Abbado); IV - 12:05; V - 16:15. Why so fast when Harding's two existing Mahler recordings on Harmonia Mundi are nowhere so 'breathless'?

I would buy a CD or download of Harding's M7 from Munich, but not this one - unless they do a studio recording with somewhat more broad tempi (except for the second movement, which seemed fine as it was).
