It's hard to believe that it is almost eight years since I first fell in love with Mahler's music (in 2007) and set out on my Mahler odyssey. This is one of my early acquisitions and it is a beauty:

Paul Kletzki conducting.

I must return to one of more of my favourite recordings of this beautiful work. When I come to think of it I haven't listened to it very often since I tried to analyse it to death a wee while ago, I need to make amends.

That can sometimes happen Seán and it is something that one needs to guard against. It is a wonderful work.

I LOVE it but Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra are my favourites.

That cover reminds me of a label on a vinyl as seen through the sleeve.

I think that was the idea Fergus. But a more distinctive design could have helped sales.
