On this double disc set Caine continues his unique consideration of the music of Gustav Mahler, here in live performance. Using the large band jazz setting, as well as some rather unsettling sonic elements, Caine deconstructs the nature of Mahler's work. The opening track -- a tango interpretation of the funeral march from the Symphony no. 5 -- is by turns histrionic, romantic, and a bit comical. Purists may be horrified with the liberties he takes, but one has to admire the musical chutzpah displayed here. © Tim Sheridan
