From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

RE: Mahler Cycle Again

Without hearing this Berlin set, I will guarantee there are differences from the Gielen set. Each conductor has his own point of view on what is in the music and how to convey it to an audience.

They also change their minds! I saw Haitink conduct Mahler 9 in Cleveland, and it was somewhat different than his first recording of the piece, which was also different from the Christmas Matinee video/CD he led in Amsterdam, which was also different from a relatively recent performance he gave with the LSO. I've also heard M9 conducted by Zander, Rozhdestvensky, and (in public rehearsal) Tennstedt--they were all different! And this will be true for any of these works.

I just got the Gielen set, loved #1, and am looking forward to the rest.
