Next on the list for Mahler....

I feel that Chailly's style suits Mahler's work very well.
Chailly does an excellent job on the 2nd, 3rd and 5th. These are the works that stand out in this particular set. However, the rest of the set is really good as well.

Mahler's 5th symphony is my favorite. Riccardo Chailly on Decca. This recording is just awesome as far as quality. Performance is very good as well. Bu if you want the best performance of it(but it also happens to be the worst recording quality), try Mahler's 5th by Bruno Walter and New York Philharmonics orchestra. Most emotional, but again, worst quality recording. I think it's even in mono.

Also, if you're into this kind of music, Shostakovich's 5th symphony is great. My highest recommendation after Mahler's 5th.......Enjoy

What about Mahler's Symphony No.1 on vinyl. Any idea which version to hunt for? How is this Solti recording? Any good?
Thanks for the ideas.....

Rushton, thanks. I'll check out Solti/LSO recording probably.
Thanks
