Abbado and the CSO was a of a marriage made in heaven. The first three in the cycle have come in for high praise:

It was a pretty decent performance Fergus but didnt quite have the fire that the HvK version has.

Symphonies 5-7....

No. 5 was an almighty, powerful performance and the best of this cycle so far.
No. 6 was a lovely version which will have repeated replays.
