After hearing all of Chailly's Mahler recordings over the last decade, I am convinced that this distinguished conductor's cycle will eventually have its place in history as one of the finest ever. Certainly the caliber of the playing in the series is hard to match; the Concertgebouw Orchestra makes these terribly difficult symphonies sound easy. --Amazon customer
