hey Shuan, it wasn't necessary for me to use a stop watch - the timings are printed right on the covers. Second, whether you think it's silly or not, I'm simply presenting the facts as they truly exist - the only objective stuff we can go by. Third, who you are to say that Walter's 1947 interpretation comes directly from the horses mouth? Did you ask either party? Do you have Mahler's opinion on the subject? I was simply stating what does and doesn't work for me, so please don't make yourself an authority on what Mahler would have liked himself. Looking at timings may be silly, but making the claim you are is being somewhat presumptuous. Regardless, I never said that this was a bad recording. Only a fool would make that claim.
