ANNA REYNOLDS (mezzo-soprano) SOUTHEND BOYS' CHOIR director MICHAEL CRABB LONDON SYMPHONY CHORUS chorus-master ARTHUR OLDHAM LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA leader JOHN BROWN conducted by CLAUDIO ABBADO

This is why it lasts more than .90 minutes and is a concert in itself. It is Mahler's most comprehensive work, since it stemmed from all his three main sources of inspiration - Nature, Man and God.'
