It really is hard to know what to make of this music, except to say that it's undeniably enjoyable. I do know that Uri Caine takes Mahlers work very seriously, so this isn't just a piss-take of late romantic magniloquence.As a matter of fact, some music society awarded the disc Best Mahler Record Of The Year. After hearing it, I looked up some reviews and commentaries and found that it's been very well received, despite (or maybe because of) the inevitable amusement elicited by the more extravagant sections.
I preferred this version of M5 to Zanders. It's probably less contrived!
