Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 Resurrection

There are abundant excellent recordings, but the vinyl restriction winnows it down.  It would also rule out some of the contenders on digital.  Leonard Bernstein first recording would be a no go for me on vinyl because the Columbia mixes were awful.  Their CEO wanted the Bernstein Mahler recordings mixed as though the preferred playback system would be AM radio.  Remixed for CD it’s wonderful.  Claudio Abbado and the Chicago SO was problematic in that the offstage band was inaudible in many of the systems of the day (Google contemporary reviews).  On CD it’s perfect, an excellent spatial effect, surely what Mahler intended.

   Vinyl for me is a secondary medium, so I don’t own a Mahler2 on vinyl.  The one that I played to death back in the day was Bruno Walter and the NYPhilharmonic (stereo-there are earlier mono recordings).  Excellent classic record, but I have to add that the first time I heard it in CD I was blown away by the extra information on offer.  The Solti recommendation above is probably a safe vinyl recommendation in terms of performance and SQ.  Rafael Kubelik and the Bavarian Radio SO  and Bernard Haitink with the Amsterdam Concertgebouw should be safe, but as you are in love with the piece, you don’t want safe-you probably want something overwhelming.  In your vinyl shoes I would go for Solti

I just became aware that LP versions exist-Direct Metal Masterings- of the release by Simon Rattle and the City of Birmingham Symphony et. al.  I have only heard this digitally but I remember liking it quite a bit and the DMM might appeal.

  Another LP choice overlooked previously, at least in my post, would be Klemperer and the Philharmonia from the very early sixties 

The clips that I have heard of the Karajan Mahler 6 from the source that @hifiguy42  recommends are very impressive. I am never going to shell out that kind of dosh for a recording that has been so well transferred digitally, but if vinyl is your only media, I am sure that the Abbado Resurrection sounds amazing. 
  Tennstedt official LPO record pales in comparison to many live versions that he left, particularly the one with the NDR orchestra that was superbly recorded in the early 80s by German Radio, but I doubt these live recordings can be had on vinyl 

Missa Solemnis: I assume it’s vinyl only again?  If you don’t mind mono Furtwangler (or Toscanini for about as polar opposite a view as possible).  In stereo Klemperer with the Philharmonia.  Herbert von Karajan would record this every 5 years or so so there are several vinyl HvKs out there but for me this is where the description of “Chocolate Beethoven “ in reference to Herr von K originated
