This 12-CD set is of obvious interest because it assembles all of the classic 1960s vintage Leonard Bernstein recordings of Mahler's symphonies, done during Bernstein's tenure as music director of the New York Philharmonic, in one place in some of the best digital remasterings. Bernstein was the first conductor to record a complete Mahler symphonic cycle, a project he pursued between 1960 and 1968, this at a time when there were only seven or eight formal, complete Beethoven symphonic cycles in print or in progress. You get Janet Baker's Kindertotenlieder, three Rückert songs and one Wunderhorn-Lied by Jennie Tourel, and extra versions of the first movement of the Eighth and the Adagietto of the Fifth. These performances are classics in the truest sense of the word: path breaking recordings that, along with concurrent cycles by Kubelik, Haitink, and Abravanel, made the 1960s the "Mahler decade".Each CD is packaged in an individual mini-LP-style jacket (without an inner-sleeve, which means one must be a little careful sliding them in or out), with the annotation (a reprint of Bernstein's own contemporary article on the symphonies of Mahler, and a short essay by scholar Tim Page) included in a separate booklet, along with any text for the vocal works.
