I have had a broadcast recording of Barshai conducting his completion
of the Mahler 10 for some time. Some Mahlerians find things to enjoy
in it. I say it is the worst and most self-indulgent of all the
completions. Had Barshai been completing Shostakovich's 16th Symphony,
it would be wonderful. Unfortunately, it sounds nothing like Mahler.
