Mahler's 9 - your selection

Where it counts, particularly in the solo parts, and not laid on with a trowel, (some here seem to think Mahler wrote for Hollywood).

Apparently, Nozza even plays Jimi Hendrix guitar solos sans vibrato.

Ah but he didn't, and if he had survived that long he might also have been around to encounter the introduction of ubiquity of vibrato in orchestral string playing.

Mahler Symphonies Michael Gielen set - best ( new ) price at the moment seems to be £77-99 +p&p from Arkiv. It can be obtained for just over £82 (incl p&p) from the Am marketplace. Possibly slightly lower price from Am Germany.

I bought the set for around £55 around 2 years ago which is still the best price I have seen.

£15.99 a couple of weeks ago on eBay....
