Leonard Bernstein, New York Philharmonic - Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 3 in D minor (2007) [SACD]

Leonard Bernstein’s first complete cycle of the Mahler symphonies, in the Japanese stereo/multichannel releases of what were originally 3-channel recordings.
Mahler’s 3rd Symphony is the heart of the Wunderhorn symphonies, three works based in part on the series of poems Das Knaben Wunderhorn, some of which Mahler had already adapted into lieder. The third symphony shows the continued development of Mahler’s style, and also shows the composer reaching a bit to excess on time, composing his longest symphony – and the longest non-operatic work regularly played by orchestras to this day.
