Shventus,
I actually have this version but CD. I found this recording is one of the BEST Mahler 5. However, recently, I've been listening to Mahler 5 conducted by Solti with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (London ffrr label/vinyl) and this was wonderful as well.
I had around 15 different versions of Mahler 5. Well, I know that's nothing compare to some others here (someone here have 80 versions???)....
Anyway, that should be a nice vinyl (Inbal/Phillips label), all I tried to say is there are many differents Mahler 5 and all of them are great (except Babriolli version).
Please share with me if you find them!
Newbee,
Thanks for the input. Why not Solti? I have the 3 with Solti (CD) and it's wonderful as well. Many people claim Bernstein is great, but he is too sonic-boom for me. Even Barbriolli got 5 stars plus on all the reviews, the conducting was terrible. Again, some rating are not truth at all... more marketing purpose.
Regarding Inbal, you are right. It's a Denon, NOT Phillips. I was just confusing when wrote the previous post.
I never seen Inbal on LP, but who know?
Was Inbal one of Bernstein's student?????
I actually prefered Vienna version of Bernstein over the New York. Hard to explain, but the Vienna have more "emotion" into it.
Ok, to answer Newbee, I actually have the TennStedt version as well (Angel record/45RPM/London Orch.) and it's great version as well... I almost forgot.
Rtn1, for Solti set, I evaluate 8 the best for sure, but the 5 is better than I've expected. I didn't like his other though. The Concertgebouw is a great record as well since the orchestra are extremely anwsome. I'm not familar with Chailly but also heard that he is too "clean".
Bernstein is for sure overly damatic, except conduct Shos #5.
