In Reply to: Mahler + Solti posted by Frihed89 on August 10, 2012 at 12:36:22:
With the Solti performances. In the last few years, I have returned to both and find them to be flatly unacceptable performances.
2: the epitome of bad multimiking results in incoherence. Unlistenable I think on any good system.
6: A tepid performance that misses the music's passion and power. (The songs done with Yvonne Minton on the same release are successful, however.)
Given their manifest weaknesses, I'm not sure why anyone would seek out these recordings, give the strong competition on both the interpretive & sound engineering fronts.
