In Reply to: This is the Alpha and Omega of the Mahler 3rd posted by Newey on March 12, 2017 at 16:38:08:
Since it seems to matter so much to you, I'll acknowledge that I agree with you here. The Horenstein Mahler 3rd with the London Symphony is first rate and deservedly highly regarded, in my most humble opinion.
Oddly, shortly before the LSO recorded the Mahler 3rd with Horenstein, they recorded it with Solti for Decca, and that one is on the whole unsuccessful, in fact the only real dud I know of in the Solti/Mahler discography, again in my most humble opinion. Perhaps the decision to have the LSO record it again so soon has something to do with that.
But that's how it works here, Newey. People will agree with you sometimes, other times, not. Either way, it's all good.
