In my original post I expressed disappointment that the Mahler 2nd Symphony was spread over two discs and questioned why with all the capacity of SACD that a single disc was not sufficient.Mr. Sacks explained that given the dynamics of the music that it was not possible to squeeze in a 81 minute hybrid (not to mention multi-channel layer) performance of the Mahler 2nd onto a single disc. I believe he said that his limit with the material (or similar material) was 78 minutes.
There are any number of Mahler 2nd hybrid SACDs out there. How many of them are on a single disc?
