Leif Segerstam's unsung Mahler cycle offers outstanding performances of Symphonies No. 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9, and very good versions of Symphonies No. 4 and 5. Elsewhere, Segerstam can be a bit perverse--particularly in the dementedly slow first movement of Symphony No.2--but he's a first-class musician, and he brings great conviction to everything that he does. Not a first recommendation, perhaps, but Mahler fans will still have a good time. --David Hurwitz
