Mahler 3rd

Posted by ahendler (A) on December 19, 2011 at 12:44:37

Just finished listening to a version of the Mahler 3rd that has not been discussed on this forum. It is Semyon Bychkov With the WDR Sinfonie-Orchester Koln on the AVIE label. AV0019
The performance is one of the most wonderful interpretations I have ever heard of this work. As good as Barbiroli, Hornstein or Bernstein. Also this recording of a live performance is absolutely of demonstration caliber. The bottom end will knock down your walls and the midrange and top end fully capture the great horn playing of this marvelous orchestra. This may be the best orchestral recording I have ever heard and that includes my favorite RCA's, Mercuries and Deccas. Has anyone else heard this recording? If not, it is a must listen
