"There is nothing inappropriate or anticlimactic about this performance ... You can see the right emotions featured in Chailly's face. His eyes are shut, Karajan-like, at the creation of the world, but soon flash open. The climaxes are carefully graded ... The orchestra's commitment is palpable, and there's some fine camerawork getting in deep ... In other words, short of the score, your complete kit for Mahler One".
