Next on the list for Mahler....

Rick,
I have been listening to the Mahler #3 recently with Jascha Hornstein conducting the London Symphony along with The Ambrosian Singers, Norma Proctor (contralto), and The Wadsworth School Boys Choir on the Nonesuch label (HB-73023), a 2 LP set. Great performance and very good recording as well.

I have Horenstein Mahler #3 on CD/Unicorn . A fine performance indeed.

Kindertotenlieder (DG 138 879), sung by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau is a 'must have' LP in my book

Das Lied Von Der Erde is another beautiful piece. The LP version on DG (2535 184) w/Nan Merriman is beautiful, but the best I've heard is unfortunately a fairly lo-fi live recording CD: Carlos Kleiber conducting, Christa Ludwig soprano, on 'Exclusive ex92t53'. The version of 'The Farewell' on this CD is amazing.
