Mahler Symphonies 1-9 LSO box under Valery Gergiev hybrid SACD/CD recorded live at the Barbican 2007 to 2011. CD SQ is dreadful, like a soft toy. Interpretation is the same. Good job I am an OAP with loadsamoney because this going into landfill. 5th with LPO under Tennstedt restored reality.
Yup - same as I've found with most LSO Live releases, and with anything by Gergiev.... just how he came to be so highly regarded beats me.
