No, the sound isn't the best, to say it smooth, in this one.  But the
singing and playing is so great!  I haven't heard all "Das Lied von der
Erde" of course, but I must say this recording come close to the perfection
of this work - as I imagine it to be.

I would be interested to hear more of Svanholm. Could anyone please provide
more information on this recording?
