If you can find it, the BBC mag a while back has a cd of a broadcast
with him and the BBC Wales doing the Mahler 10th.  Really a fabulous
performance.  Few readings I've heard have captured the hallucinatory
atmosphere of the inner movements.  What's continually impressed me about
MW is his willingness to take risks, including unfashionably fast tempi
(very much unlike Rattle at a similar point).
