MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Bruckner: Symphony No. 9

"If any EMI recording by Sir John deserves inclusion this is it. In my opinion it is the best Mahler recording he left us. I've always felt his view of the first movement's overall tempo and pacing to be as near definitive as you can get. There is deep yearning in the opening passage and yet all is carried along in an Andante comodo at the walking pace Mahler surely meant and which so suits the music." MusicWeb
