Abbado's Mahler 2

I am glad that I finally managed to buy this DVD in Shanghai. It was an amazing performance. The orchestra was handpicked by Abbado, with famous soloists being the chair of each section. The rest of the orchestra are young musicians. Abbado's Mahler 2 could join the league with other conductors who has a good version of Mahler 2,like Klemperer, Rattle, Haitink, et al. The ending of the symphony was thrilling. Definitely one of the finest versions of this symphony.
