"why hasn't an orchestra been able to do this before? with so many other Mahler 9ths out there, it is amazing that none are this calibar. i think all other recordings pale in comparison. the Royal Concertgebouw always plays well, but here they seem to step it up a notch. i have yet to hear another recording of this symphony with as much emotion as this one. buy this disc. and for some strange reason the SACD is cheaper than the regular CD."
A fiiting farewell

"A fine performance to bring to an end his tenure as principal conductor of The Concergebouw Orchestra.Chailly's understanding of Mahler is both profound and deep and although this may not compare with his 3rd or 5th Symphonies of the same cycle it still remains a saisfying performance.The recording is outstanding,especially in the SA multichannel mode.I would recommend the entire cycle by this fine conductor."
