Mahler: Symphony No. 1
Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra
Rafael Kubelik, cond.
AUDITE
Certainly among my favorite recordings of this perennial favorite symphony.  It's recorded in live performance (sans applause) and exhibits a joyous, mostly straightforward interpretation with nary a ponderous moment.  The coda to the finale is brought off wonderfully!

Since I have played the box twice, its always interesting for me, to know what you think about the individual issues in this release.
So...............if you please! :)

 

Harry, I think I'll post some impressions on the box as a whole when I've gone through all discs.
As you know my method is one or two at a time, playing them a few times in a run.
So, I still have five discs to go! :)

I know:  it just me.  >:(  But I really find this to be a tedious dirge, and not just the length.  Is it only the performance?

That is a pretty good recording, really. Perhaps an interventionist such as Jochum could provide a contrast?

I always feel, when listening to Bach's VCs on non-period instruments, that the things are completely out of tune.

Alan Hovhaness' Symphony No. 50, Mount St. Helens.  Dunno about a great work but more entertaining than Bruckner's Eighth I was listening to earlier.
