Your favorite Mahler recordings on vinyl

Find the Solti/CSO offering on London/Decca for a riveting Symphony 2.  I find that I keep going back to that one.

Just what I was looking for! 
Thank you. 

Bruno Walter, Symphony #1.

Solti, Symphony #2.

Horenstein, Symphony #3.

Haitink, Concertgebow, Symphony #4. It was back in the 1970’s. I’d never heard Mahler and I wasn’t very interested in exploring his stuff. I was in my twenties. This performance showed up on the radio, one evening. I caught it during the Third Movement. It was my first encounter with Mahler. I listened all the way to the end. Elly Ameling’s vocal performance in the final movement was not only utterly lovely, it turned me into a fan of classical vocal music. One of the key moments in my listening experience.


Des Knaben Wunderhorn. Vanguard Records. Maureen Forester and Heinz Rehfuss vocals. Maybe my favorite record in my 1000+ pop/jazz/classical collection.

I love that Vanguard Wunderhorn LP.  Wore out my first copy.  Managed to find a near mint copy on EBay.
I also second the Haitink/Ameling 4th.
The 9th with Barbirolli and the Berlin Philharmonic on EMI/Angel is great, musically and sonically.
I first got to know the 9th and Mahler for that matter on a wonderfully sounding performance by Kondrashin, of all people, also on Angel.  Evidently he was a Russian Mahler specialist.
