I listened to the first three movements of the Haitink/Concertgebouw yesterday, from the most recent CD reissue ripped to my NAS. It’s a very good version, and I much preferred it to the last 5th that I had heard, Tennestedt/LPO from the recent box devoted to that conductor
Haitink Mahler 5 on DECCA Pure Analog
Almost bought this but figured I ask if anyone has heard this reissue.
From product notes…
For this release Rainer Maillard at Emil Berliner Studios has used the original, four-track quadraphonic master tape to make a new stereo mix sent directly to the cutter head. This preserves a pure analogue path throughout. The Philips engineers of the 1970s would similarly have mixed the four front and rear channels before cutting but this downmix would have resulted in a two-track stereo copy for mastering, whereas here the lacquer is cut directly from a ’live’ mix into stereo from the four Quad channels.
Any feedback on the quality of recording and vinyl?

@mahler123 the only version of the 5th with BH and Concertgebouw I was able to find on streaming is part of this set:
I believe it’s the exact same version as on that DECCA reissue. If you have a chance to check on qobuz or tidal…thanks!
