Jim, as you know, a conductor can make a difference, and then, it’s really subjective which is ‘best’. I have quite a few works by various conductors and orchestras, and deciding which to play depends on my mood, and what I want it to sound like ‘today’.
As the kids used to say, ‘it’s all good’. 😉
Check out the Mahler collection with Chailly and The Royal Concertgebouw too. Nice set.
