I was reading in ARG a review by Don Vroon of Mahler's 5th symphony
performed by the London Symphony under the direction of Harold Farberman on
Vox. Vroon concluded that the Farberman was the best recording of Mahler's
symphony.
Given Vroon's nasty opinion of period instrument recordings and his
penchant for "heart-on-the-sleeve" interpretations, I'm always somewhat
skeptical of his recommendations. What's your opinion of Faberman's
interpretation?
