I would recommend Bernard Haitink & the RCO for Mahler 7 & 9, and the Philharmonia with Lorin Maazel for Mahler 5. I’ve noticed that in some of the Philharmonia’s more recent recordings there is an increased presence in the lower winds and brass. This particularly shines through in the fourth movement of Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique with Esa-Pekka Salonen.
What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle?
Folks... I love Mahler but my two versions of the 5th sound very low-fi. I am looking for a well --- really well --- recorded 5th on redbook CD --- or better still... a whole mahler symphony cycle that is audiophile (or... near audiophile quality.
Any help would be appreciated
