I thought nothing on earth could possibly replace Bernstein's New York Philharmonic recording (on Sony) of the Mahler 3rd -- until I heard this ravishing recording by James Levine, where the Chicago Symphony Orchestra seems to be performing inside your body!...your mind!...your very spirit!One Week Later: I just listened to the famed (devastatingly beautiful) Jasha Horenstein performance with the London Symphony Orchestra. Own both these dazzling recordings -- and your Mahler collection (as far as the Third Symphony is concerned) will be forever complete.
