TO ME,
Chailly has always been to clinical a conductor. Many of his recordings are technically and sonically perfect, but there is no, for me anyway, feeling in a great deal of his recordings. I have several of his Bruckner Recordings( 2, 7, & 8 ) and I like them. However, they would not rank as my all time favorites. So to, his Mahler, technically brilliant, but I am not taken to the heights like I am with Karajan( BPO-DG) Abbado( BPO-DG ) Barbirolli ( BPO-EMI )Walter ( VPO-Dutton ) and Bernstein ( NYPO-SONY ). SO I guess I am in the Vvrinc camp on this one, but that was a nice review TDAVE.
Happy Listening,
JWALKER
