I agree with most of what Mark from Charlotte has said. Although I think Dohnanyi and the Cleveland Orchestra do produce a definitive performance in this recording. It will become the standard of comparison. The tempos are just right. In particular, the playing of the horns give the symphony a forward looking 20th century feel to it. Dohnanyi interpretes it as a rueful reflection of life in light of pending death. Marvelous! The Hartmann piece is a great coupling that maintains the spirit of Mahler.
