Topflight surround recording is the first to be made in the new Budapest concert hall ~audiophile-audition

However, in contrast to Abbado's boring Berliners, Fischer's orchestra plays better, and he's much better recorded. Just listen to the characterful brass in the coda of the first movement, with a particularly fine first trumpet, or the splendid woodwinds in the trios of the scherzo. () () Fischer also has a keen ear for Mahler's special effects: the cowbells tinkle evocatively, and the offstage chimes are perfectly balanced at the start of the finale. () Best of all, the finale is terrific, as it must be in any performance of this work. It has the necessary weight, with imposing brass playing and aptly dark, heavy, but potent hammer blows. Fischer also times each return to the movement's introduction especially well, knitting together the movement's various episodes with unerring skill. The entire recapitulation and coda are masterfully paced, with excellent contributions from all sections. () () for a legitimate alternative viewpoint you will find it difficult to do better than this. ~classicstoday
