Well, I can often be something of an objectivist when it comes to Mahler, so much of the time I prefer less effusive interpretations. Haitink is clearly much cooler than, say, Bernstein, so he may not appeal to you. Regarding the recording quality, although I haven't heard the original CD issue, this new Philips 50 Remaster sounds excellent -- and I'm a critical listener. I can say this: I replaced at least a dozen original CDs of other Philips recordings with the Philips 50 remasters (including the Richter Sofia Recital and Richter/Rostropovich Beethoven Sonatas)...they are all significant improvements.
