The Abbado CSO on vinyl is part of the latest batch of Deutsche Grammophon's Original Source Series. I haven't heard it but everything I've purchased from this series so far has been phenomenal. It might capture the magic of the CD version @mahler123 is referring to.
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.

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. |
@newbee @mahler123 @dayglow @mei @hifiguy42 @rcprince 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 |
