It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Yes. My Angel reissue reocrd is a Mahler version...

From the liner notes:

...'Mahler's principal aims were to lighten the texture by doing away with unnecessary doublings and to give a sharper definition to Schumann's melodic and rhythmic idas by deft alterations. thus, in the original opening of the Third Symphony, horns and trumpets are allotted merely harmonic fillings; in Mahler's version they are made to reinforce the first violins, which have the main theme requiring uderlining. Similarly , for the sake of greater clarity, Mahler transposes ceratin thematic pasage san octave higher, notably in caes where Schumann entrusted them to low-lying oboes and clarinets. Mahler's revisions also include changes in the phrase markings, in the dynamics and the matter of playing.'

I'm not sure how old my record is but it is a large angel red label and it says 'manufactured in England'. I figured it's the same '58 London recording.

Anyways, with all this talk about 'Rhenish', now I am curious to see what the 'original' version sounds like.
