On the other hand, you might care to read my own review, for Music Web,
of this Barbirolli recording which differs quite considerably from that
of Mr. Hurwtiz. You can find it at:
http://www.musicweb.uk.net/classrev/2002/Nov02/Mahler9_Barbirolli.htm
My conclusion reads:
"If you don't already own this great recording, one of the five
or six best of this work ever taped, buy it immediately. It
should be on every Mahlerite's shelf."
I don't think I'm crazy either.
