What particularly caught my eye in the new IRR was Jonathan Carr's welcome reassessment of the Kubelik Mahler cycle - a much underestimated enterprise - and a download of Tony Duggan's view of the Zender Mahler VI. Mahler reviewing in IRR has been slack until now. Good to see the pace picking up. As for the supposed objectivity of reviewers - well, that's a very tangled subject. Norman Lebrecht
