As always with these things, errors may creep in and it quickly becomes out of date. Indeed, on the week of publication, a new recording by Klaus Tennstedt was released of him conducting Mahler's Seventh with the Danish Radio Symphony. It was too late to include any review, but we have added it to the index with a view of including a review in due course.
Best wishes,

Congratulations on surviving that tour of duty. Just a few minor corrections relating to the Barbirolli version of 1960. At the concert which I attended. the Mahler was played first while the Nielsen Fifth was conducted not by Sir John but by George Hurst, the long standing and excellent chief conductor of the BBC Northern as it was then known. That was probably the reason that the BBC discs didn't include that although the more recent JB set pretends that both were conducted by JB. Those were the days in Manchester. Keep up the good work.
Readers may be interested to know that we are shortly to publish a further Mahler Symphony Conspectus to add to those already of the First Symphony (http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2022/Feb/Mahler-sy1-survey-LD.pdf), the Fourth Symphony (http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2020/Oct/Mahler-sy4-update.pdf), as well as Das Lied von der Erde (http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2020/Jun/Mahler-Erde-survey.pdf). The aim of these Surveys were to update our late colleague, Tony Duggan's own writings on the music, published over ten years ago.
We would therefore welcome any comments, thoughts and suggestions or otherwise with regards to it here - the purpose of this message is to be able to embed it in the survey, hence it appearing a couple of days beforehand.
