- Remarkable value Mahler set by a great Mahler conductor
The late Klaus Tennstedt was a very great Mahler conductor and this set, in part, reflects that very well. Symphonies 3, 6 and 8 (and especially number 8) are right up with the very finest performances ever recorded. Symphonies 1, 2 and 4 are of a very high quality. Symphony 7 sounds fine until you hear the live BBC Legends recording (Mahler - Symphony No 7; Mozart - Symphony No 41 and you realise just how ALIVE a live Tennstedt performance can be (I know it costs almost as much as the complete ...

- Ridiculously good value Mahler set!
If, like me you are relatively new to the colossal Symphonic edifices of Gustav Mahler, and don't want to spend a fortune to start with to start your journey, then this is a splendid set to begin with dating from the 70's and 80's.

I have heard other performances of some of the symphonies before and these match up wholeheartedly.

The London Philharmonic are in cracking form throughout. Meticulously drilled by German conductor Klaus Tenstedt who lives and breathes every note ... Read More

- The best complete Mahler symphonies set?
I've owned several sets of the complete Mahler symphonies and as far as it's possible to get all the works in good performances on just one cycle this is the possibly the closest you'll get. The only relative disappointments are numbers 2 and 9, with the highlights being 1,3,6,7 and 8 with a bonus in a heartfelt performance of the Adagio from No 10. This set would almost satisfy my needs if I could afford only this one complete survey. Symphonies 2 and 9 could be covered by Bernstein in separate issues ... Read More

- Sound per pound!
I can't add any more to what has been said regarding the content of this box set except to say: the sound quality is incredible. Out of all my classical CDs I rate these the highest in terms of hi-fi. Just listen to the first minute of the 5th symphony to understand what I mean - Clean, crisp and full dynamics across the frequency range. Recommended.

- Clear, Powerful, Satisfying performances of a Master's works
From the start of the First Symphony Tennstedt makes his intentions known. He is not interested in questions of how individual symphonies reflected the state of Mahler's mind at the time they were written. He is not interested in making this symphony triumphant or that one tragic. He is going to let the music speak for itself, in its own time.

This is a sound attitude to take with a composer whose musical voice plumbs the depths and rises to the heavens without any extra help.
