Another Take On Those Hammer Blows

The longer I have been collecting classical recordings, the more the chance of duplication of repertoire from the BBC Music mag cover disks. This one features Sir Charles Mackerras conducting the BBC Philharmonic in a performance of Mahler's 6th Symphony, that's the one with the "hammer blows of fate". Nothing more to add about the piece from when I considered the recording I have by Boulez and the Vienna Phil. The BBC Phil do a creditable job and it is interesting that Mackerras's reading is four and a half minutes swifter than that of Boulez.
