Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 Resurrection

I had the pleasure of attending a performance of the University of Georgia’s Symphony Orchestra and chorus presentation of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 Resurrection last night. It was amazing, which is an understatement.  Full chorus of over 100 and an orchestra that overflowed the stage.  Five movements and 90 minutes straight. I was blown away.

I would appreciate suggestions for good versions of the work, preferably on vinyl.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you all for your suggestions on this post.  I was able to find on Discogs, believe it or not, an unopened box of the 1966 CSO Solti version on vinyl.  Box is in perfect condition, and I assume the LPs are the same.  I haven't played it yet - my amp blew a tube(s) and they are on order.  But I'm anxious to give it a spin, and thanks for all the suggestion.

I'm now on a new quest.  A vinyl version of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis.  We went to the Atlanta Symphony last night and the full orchestra and chorus blew the roof off the place.  I've always loved this piece ever since I first heard at CSO radio broadcast on the first advanced HiFi system I ever encountered back in college (Bose 901's were big stuff back in the day).  They were amazing last night.

Thanks Again
