"This recording counts among the few almost wholly successful accounts of a work one should only be able to hear a few times in a decade."
- Classic CD - Michael Tanner
"The best performance I have yet heard of Mahler's Sixth Symphony."
- The Boston Globe
"This set joins the Rattle and two Bernstein recordings as the finest on records...The Boston Philharmonic compared favorably with the august Vienna Philharmonic in the voting!...The care with which it was rehearsed was manifest in every bar...The andante is achingly beautiful under Zander's baton...the finale is superb in all respects, imparting its dark message, despair and cataclysmic emotionalism as well as Bernstein and Rattle, but exceeding them, and everyone else for that matter, with the hammerblows...The sonics are terrific, balanced naturally, clear and detailed, with an incredible dynamic range and as accurate an image of a concert hall as I have ever heard...All things considered - performance, sonics and orchestral execution - when I reach for a recording of the Sixth to play for my own pleasure, it will most likely be this one."
