A poor recording.

"The high pitch, off key, of this recording, nearly made it painful to listen to it and the CDs are no longer in my collection."

Mahler Revisited

"I quite disagree with the above two depressing reviews, and would rate this Quadromania retrospective on Mahler at between 3+ and 4 stars. Certainly the sound is somewhat primitive from the 1940's, but if expectations are kept reasonable, the historical significance of these recordings from the Mahler archives by devotees--Metropoulos, Mengelberg, and compatriot Walter-- are ever enlightening and well worth the meagre $2.50 per disc. I don't expect Bernstein, Chailly and Solti from the modern age, but this compilation stays with pride in my collection."

Don't Buy!!!

"My copy also has an incorrect pitch to the reproduction. The music is altered to the point of complete misrepresentation. I ordered it despite the previous reviewer's warning and will now attempt to return it."
