<one for you and the rest for me.....>

I went into a record store this morning in search of a recording of Mahler's
7th symphony.  There are two recent digital recordings available, both with
excellent pedigrees.  The first is by Chicago Symph, conducted by James Levine,
and has won a number of awards and much critical acclaim.  The second is a new
recording on Philips by the Concertgerbrau (you know what i mean - even if
i can't spell it) Orchestra, Amsterdam, conducted by Bernard Haitink.  Now,
for Mahler works, i think Haitink is possibly the greatest, although i'm
sure you all have your own opinions.  So, normally i would buy the second
but i haven't seen any reviews.  Has anyone out there in netland read a review
or had an opportunity to compare these  two recordings?
