This is a very fine, marvellously recorded "Resurrection" symphony with bags to commend it, even if it fails quite to match market-leaders such as
Rattle and
Haitink. This massive musical essay on life and death, love and redemption lends itself well to the idea of being recorded in concert, but this performance is a strange phenomenon. Yes, it was recorded live (in Dallas)--but on no fewer than
four successive days and then pieced together into the finished item. The result is in fact more akin to an immaculately prepared studio recording--there is not quite the evidence of the type of risk-taking you would expect in front of a live audience and which can make or break a Mahler performance. There are thrilling, gripping and tenderly touching moments, but many will miss here and there the pointing-up of the manic, melancholic, melodramatic sides to Mahler. At times Litton's control and breadth work well but elsewhere they seem a hindrance. Still, this is a substantial achievement, blessed with spacious and yet detailed sound that is as impressive as the sleeve note on the so-called "virtual reality recording" process suggests. --
