Review:
“ (…) The engineering here is top-notch, and the Original Source refresh by the wizards of Emil Berliner Studio, Rainer Maillard and Sidney C. Meyer, is as good as any in the series. However, as with a few other releases in this series, there are moments when the very clarity and transparency of mastering directly AAA from the original 4-track masters has revealed some of the shortcomings of the original engineering. And for me those shortcomings relate mainly to the interaction between the performers and the acoustical space in which they have been captured, and how it affects the impact of the music differently in different sections: sometimes very positively (as in the radiant peroration), sometimes a little negatively in the sections that need to present layered differentiation between instruments and sections without losing impact. The large acoustic occasionally mitigates against the achievement of a truly audiophile level of fidelity.
(…) It’s a work that is almost impossible to accommodate within a home audio setting, but this release gets as close as any, and in more than a few places approaches musical and sonic nirvana - just the way Mahler would have wanted it. More please!” Tracking Angle Review by Mark Ward
