I don't think the play time is actually carved into stone.  The 72
minute limit cited refers, I think, to a Denon CD of Beethoven's 9th,
a work which is very popular in Japan.  The article I'm thinking of
is over a year old, but at the time, this was the longest CD available.
Perhaps they've extended that to accommodate the Mahler.
