Mahler on vinyl - your favorite


The only one I own at this point is the 4th by Analog Productions with Fritz Reiner/Chicago Symphony.

What are your favorite Mahler symphonies on vinyl? Looking to add to the record collection.

Thanks!

Des Knaben Wunderhorn -- On Vanguard Everyman Classics. Sung by Maureen Forrester and Heinz Rehfuss. Orchestra of the Vienna Festival. Maybe my favorite record on my shelf, regardless of genre.

Symphony No. 1, conducted by Bruno Walter. Columbia Symphony Orch. On Columbia Odyssey.

Symphony No. 3, conducted by Jascha Horenstein on Unicorn. Also released on Nonesuch. The Nonesuch is not as good a pressing but the tonal balance is better.

Symphony No. 4. Concertgebouw Orchestra, conducted by Bernard Haitink. Fourth Movement sung by Elly Ameling. On Philips. My first exposure to Gustav Mahler. I heard it on the radio when I was a teen and was instantly a Mahler fan.

 

 

I dislike vinyl as a medium.  So I would only go for the Jascha Horenstein/LSO

Third, because apparently the digital remix changed the balances for the worse relative to the lp

Mahler 4,5 and 6 by Karajan/BPO on DG. Also Ozawa/BSO on DG doing Mahler 1 deserves mention. These are all LP's I owned before the Digital Era (1982). 

Just a few off the top of my head:

Mahler 2 - Tennstedt - London Philharmonic Orchestra on EMI

Mahler 5 - Bernstein - Vienna PO on DG

Mahler 2 - Bernstein - New York Phil on DG

Mahler 3 - Bernstein - New York Phil on Columbia

Mahler 8 - Solti on Decca

Mahler 4 - Maazel, Battle -  Vienna PO on Columbia

Thanks all! Listening to these on Qobuz and checking availability on used market.
