About
Over 5000 votes were cast in DG’s Mahler web poll, over 400 customers have submitted their suggestions for a complete Mahler Symphony cycle … and now we know who will appear in the People’s Edition.
All great performances, many of them already legendary. There are no big surprises – indeed five selections correspond to those in our bestselling Mahler Complete Edition released earlier this year.
