Mahler Symphony 5 - Pittsburgh SO, Honeck

 I’m not claiming that Honeck isn’t without his indulgences, his Bernsteinesque audacities, but there is a voice and force of personality here that is totally lacking in Darlington’s reading and, in the history of Mahler performances, I think it is clear that to represent Mahler you need to some extent to be Mahler – or at least to share his bigness of utterance.
