Mahler: Symphonies 1, 5, 6, 9, Kindertotenlieder, Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen, Ruckert-Lieder

1001 Classical recordings you must hear before you die (1901-1950 on the Lieder)

"The spontaneous feeling of soloist and conductor of this music comes over as in a live performance and brings out the tenderness to a unique degree. An indispensable CD." (Penguin Guide Rosette on the Lieder)

"Barbirolli's famous 1969 version on any count is one of the greatest, most warmly affecting performances ever committed to disc, expansive, yet concentrated in feeling: the Adagietto is very moving … A classic version." Rosette Penguin Guide [Symphony 5]..

"If you don't already own this great recording, one of the five or six best of this work ever taped, buy it immediately. It should be on every Mahlerite's shelf." (MusicWeb on Symphony 9)

"Warner has done a superb job in the restoration of these classic recordings...The sound here is more natural, warmer, and better balanced than all earlier versions. Each disc is packaged in original jacket format from the LPs." Fanfare
