BACH TO BOULEZ (pronounced 'back' to Boulez)

Finally a Mahler third!
I have never liked Mahler's Symphony no. 3 mostly due to lousy interpretations and/or recordings. I recently bought a used copy of Pierre Boulez conducting this great masterpiece with the great Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, on the Deutsche Grammophon label. Absolutely awesome recording and flawless interpretation!! Now I have rekindled a long overdue(over 35 years) love for this work. Bravo Maestro!
Mahler rocks!!

Bravo indeed...there is just one observation: when I hear Mahler at some points his contrapuntal melodies kind of get muddled with one another, it is in other words not a clear distinction, but otherwise brilliant.
