Klaus Tennstedt - Mahler: The Complete Symphonies (2006) [11CD Box Set]

Klaus Tennstedt conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra through all nine of Mahler's complete symphonies-the ones known as Titan; Resurrection; Tragic; Song of the Night; Symphony of a Thousand , and all the others-plus the opening Adagio of his unfinished Symphony No. 10 . 11 CDs of music plus a suitably epic 72-page booklet!

All of Tennstedt's Mahler features such spontaneity, emotional honesty, and real human warmth that reservations about execution and sound largely fall by the wayside. Hearing it again is a deeply moving experience. --David Hurwitz
