Wasn't that at Mahler's request (kind of)?

IIRC, Mahler wanted a five-minute pause between the end of the first movement and the beginning of the second. So if the first CD has only the first movement on it, then you can wait for 5 minutes before playing the second, and you will have obeyed Mahler's instructions! ;-)

BTW, I'm glad you like this recording - I've always felt the Jurowski was one of the best conductors of his generation, and he can speak pretty eloquently about the music he performs too.
