Rattle's Mahler is really for people with open minds: people who don't hold on to Karajan and Barbirolli like comfort blankets! It's a great set, with the awarding winning second head and shoulders above anything else on the market (and yes, I've heard them all). The eighth (I was actually at the concert) is as perfect as you will hear anywhere too. And remember, several of these, including 1, 5, 7 & 8 are live recordings, really getting across the excitement and musicality not only of great events, but great Mahler.

Put Mahler and Rattle together and we know what to expect. Here is kaleidoscopic variety, originality, subtlety and power at a knock-down price. As a package, it is let down solely by its booklet. Mundane rather than inspiring, this one doesn't even tell us which performing version of the Tenth, by Deryck Cooke, is being used - he wrote three full versions. However, it is the music that counts and we can forgive such things as booklets and the flimsy cardboard CD sleeves we get here, for this is an outstanding collection of Mahler symphonies. On good hi-fi equipment (even a decent in-car system!) there is plenty of oomph to allow for a fully visceral appreciation without losing fine detail, as bass tuba, bass drum and double bass are all concert-hall potent.

There are highlights aplenty. The Second and the Ninth are personal favourites, with their ravishing sonorities and phantasmagoric burlesque. This Ninth illustrates the strengths of the whole set. It would be crass to claim that every feature of the Weiner Philharmoniker recording is the best there is - the horns' astonishing nimbleness in the second movement of Georg Solti/Decca, for example, is unmatched. But whilst the Rattle set cannot possibly hold all the aces, there aren't any jokers in the pack, either. All performances and recordings are (by any reasonable estimation) competent, most of them much more than this.

And while there is nothing entirely new on offer here, the price is a welcome novelty indeed. All of the Rattle recordings are available as separates, some of them, like the Ninth and Tenth, in alternative takes. (And talking of number Ten, it is Cooke's third version that is used here, rather than the second one used in the Bournemouth Philharmonic's recording of 1980.)

To admirers of Mahler, this is akin to a musical First Folio, a commemorative collection of both Mahler's and Rattle's lifetime work. Anyone interested in Mahler shouldn't just get hold of this set but treasure it.

I have to disagree with the positive comments: this set just did not do it for me. It has taken me 6 months to get through all the discs and at times it has almost put me off Mahler. When I wish to hear any of the works again I very much doubt that it will be these Rattle interpretations I will be reaching for as I just get much more satisfaction from my other Mahler recordings. It is very difficult to find a single word or phrase which would sum up my attitude to much of the conducting on this set - probably "that's not the way I would do it" would be the nearest.

Rattle really brings these often difficult works to life. His sense of colour and pace are magnificent. Only the Resurrection finale disappoints: somewhat bitty. The programming could be better, too. 6 and 9 find their first movements on one disk and the rest on another. Better to break before finale in my opinion. Also, I would have liked to see "Wayfarer" here, as it influenced several of the symphonies. But you can't have everything...

Rattle is not a great conductor in my opinion. Great Mahler conductor, certainly not! Generally he is well received by criticas and listeners alike, as he manages to tick all boxes. But I've been often surprised by the way he manages to kill music itself by his obssession with detail and analytical approach. He basically wants to be in control in everything. And that's fatal in Mahler's music! Karajan once said, "you must learn to ride the orchestra, never drive it." Listening to BPO under Rattle, I can not help feeling sad about such a wonderful orchestra losing the glorious abandon and freedom of music making Karajan cultivated for decades. I'd rather choose imperfect yet brilliantly alive and rough Kubelik and Solti recordings as a complete set than Rattle's meticulously painted dead Mahler.
