Mahler's 7th does not get the atten

Mahler's 7th does not get the attention accorded his first, second, third, fifth, and sixth symphonies. This is probably owing to a longish opening movement that lacks big moments, and a difficult middle movement that many conductors have struggled to understand. Even so, this symphony stands with the others as a profound statement. And I have to say that here MTT and the SFSO have produced the best version of this symphony I am aware of. They have, to my ear at least, perfectly captured the middle movement and turned it from a hot mess into a beautiful and beguiling lark. And, as with their recording of the 3rd, the SFSO renders this symphony with an emphasis on inner color and texture that rewards continuously even in the absence of big moments. Highly recommended.
