But did the performance include the THIRD hammer blow which Mahler removed from the score but which shortly before his death he was thinking about reinstating? Bernstein is one of the very few conductors to include that third hammer blow, but in his DG recording he puts it in the wrong place, ten bars too early! The only other conductors I know who include it in commercial CD recordings are Simon Rattle (muffled)and Georg Solti (a real shock, massive impact).
