I am a new member of this group, so I have not heard this rendition, until now. This is a revelation to me. I like the faster tempo more than modern interpretations afford us. And the transitions from low to high notes in some parts of the Adagietto are actually full glissandos, evocative of Fritz Kreisler, even Klezmer! Thanks to whomever produced this; you have done a real service to the members of this group and to Mahler.
Unfortunately this one has been overpolished. Compare it to the Obert-Thorn restoration for Naxos. Lots of surface noise, but recognisable stringed instruments underneath. This sounds a bit like something produced by the BBC Electronics Workshop.
Your best yet of this piece. Always nice to hear it at the tempo Mahler conducted it. While it can be slowed a bit without becoming funereal, this is the loving, romantic tone Mahler was shooting for. Thanks again.

A priceless gem that can never be overpolished.

It still sounds sad and not very romantic
@@jacktorrance9688 Not to me. I hear plenty of romance. I tend to think its use as a dirge has tainted perceptions.
@@leestamm3187 A very tragic romance then
@@jacktorrance9688 Susan McClary makes a pretty compelling argument that this movement is actually a love scene, like in the physical sense
Makes so much more sense at this tempo. All music, no extra sugar.
Mengelberg was the greatest of them all
Shows how current interpretation in Mahler fashion mania are far of his spirit.
Best version by far. Others too slow and inaudible.
Chissà perché Mengelberg corre cosi
