Mariss Jansons Conducts Mahler

defective disk/corrected with new copy
I loved the performance and the recording, but unfortunately the ending is cut off prematurely right after the chorus cuts out. The ending is truncated (missing about 45 seconds) It goes from track 7 right into track 8 that says "mastered by.." Somebody in the editing department did not do their job. Has anyone else had this problem?

Upon reading the second review I ordered a new copy and it plays perfectly. My rating goes from 1 to 5, as this is a sincere and heartfelt performance. The recording is much superior than his previous recording with the Royal Concertgebouw which is marred by excessive audio compression. Would that recording engineers leave the dynamics alone!

Jansons' Bavarian Mahler 2...a triumph!
First off all, my Blu-ray played fine...no glitches. Secondly, this a moving performance that is vivid and alive on Blu-ray, with Jansons in top form. Director Brian Large does a superb job with a variety of perspectives....including shots of the full orchestra, something that is often missing in many splice and dice productions. Those who love the Mahler 2nd will find this Blu-ray well worth the purchase.
