I really like a lot of things about this CD. I am anxious to hear other versions of Mahler's unfinished Tenth, but I like what Cooke has done based on what I hear in this recording. I will have to hear other recordings before I can conclude that this is in fact the best, and there are a few perhaps minor things that disappoint in this recording, mainly the vibrato used in the French Horn solos. I don't think the instrument should use vibrato, but I suppose that is a matter of personal taste.Other than that, the orchestra really lays into this one. Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra have put out quite a lot of top-rate performances on vinyl, and it is comforting to know that many of these performances are being preserved. This is a feisty, vigorous performance, in spite of whatever flaws it might have. For historical preservation alone, I think it's worth a listen.
