"There is some variability in the vocal solos, with unequal miking and some apparent straining, but on the whole, soprano Marina Shaguch, mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung, tenor Thomas Moser, and baritone Sergei Leiferkus present their parts with good tone and passionate expression; the chorus and orchestra provide rich tableaux".

"As I've indicated earlier, the recorded sound on this disc is excellent - the offstage band in the Mahler is expertly distanced. Boulez is a splendid guide to both these scores and if you don't mind having a foreshortened account of Das klagende Lied this disc is a compelling proposition".

"Som seriens tidligere plader er også denne af fornemste kvalitet, stemningsrig og malerisk med luksusstemmer i solopartierne. Kun står det i øvrigt fine kor en smule sløret".

"San Francisco Symphony Orchestra ... har haft succes med Mahler-symfonier. Man kan med udbytte begynde med Das klagende Lied, som med fire solister og kor har alt det spændende hos Mahler".

"Tilson Thomas får et meget distinkt og præcist orkesterspil frem, og solistkvartetten Marina Shaguch, Michelle De Young, Thomas Moser og Sergei Leiferkus er god. Bør findes i en Mahler-samling".

"Gleich in den ersten Takten packt er den Zuhörer, der Balladenton. Sehr gestisch und energiereich erzählt das Orchester diese Geschichte ... Das RSO Wien unter Cornelius Meister gibt Mahlers dreiteiliges Erstlingswerk wunderbar lebhaft, farbenreich und anschaulich wieder".

"Boulez dirigerer musikken hurtigt, tørt og ikke ret erotisk, men virtuost i sin gennemsigtighed. Anna Prohaska er fremragende som Edvard Munck'sk damevampyr. Hendes toptoner er rislende uhyggelige!. Hele cd'en har på godt og ondt ægte livestemning, selvom den egentlig er lidt af en skævert".

"Vurdering: Critic's choice" - "Boulez's recordings become more precious the less we hear from him ... Here he explores the life-stories teeming beneath the shells of two musical organisms with murder in mind".

"The Vienna Philharmonic strings bring dewy beauty to the late-Romantic canvas [of the Mahler], but there's little Götterdämmerung-like wildness ... Boulez is more assured in the Lulu Suite: irradiating the many singable melodic strains, finding a word- and pitch-perfect soprano in Anna Prohaska".
