Mahler on vinyl - your favorite

+1 @crustycoot  Great example is the Abbado/Chicago Resurrection.  The original lps were trashed by critics because the important offstage band was inaudible.  It was in the grooves but cartridges of the day couldn’t reproduce it.  The CD places it in perfect perspective relative to the main Orchestra 

The Abbado Chicago Resurrection was cut for the LP at a very low level, too low a level, and cannot be recommended.  Perhaps better in digital.

I agree and so will not repeat any of the above recommendations.

Songs of the Wayfarer, Fischer-Dieskau, Kubelik, DG (forget the attached 5th)

Sym 1, Horenstein, London Sym, Nonesuch

Sym 5, Abbado, Chicago, DG

Sym 7, Bernstein, NY, Columbia

Sym 9, Haitink, Concertgeboew, Phillips

Sym 10 Adagio, Boulez, London Sym, Columbia

Das Lied von der Erde, Walter, NY, Columbia

All of these hold there own into the digital era.

Symphony No.4-San Francisco Symphony Orchestra

Edo de Waart-Margaret Price

Since this was my first classical recording I purchased a sense of nostalgia exists.

@singingg did you mean ignore the attached on Kubelik’s Songs of a Wayfarer? I didn’t find it with the 5th…

Hope I got the right album. Checking it out on qobuz.
