Mahler on vinyl - your favorite


The only one I own at this point is the 4th by Analog Productions with Fritz Reiner/Chicago Symphony.

What are your favorite Mahler symphonies on vinyl? Looking to add to the record collection.

Thanks!

Your moniker suggests sound quality is of importance, so with that taken in consideration:

no.1: Walter on US Columbia

no.2: Klemperer on UK Columbia (emi)

no.3: Mehta on Decca/London

no.4: Szell on US Columbia or UK Columbia (emi)

no.5: Barbirolli on HMV (emi)

no.6: Barbirolli on HMV (emi)

no.7: Solti on Decca/London

no.8: Solti on Decca/London

no.9: Walter on US Columbia

Lied von der Erde: Klemperer on UK Columbia 

I realise that the original issues of some of these recordings are in the collectors category and priced accordingly. In those cases (like the Klemperer no.2) you should try to find an early reissue, which usually will sound pretty good for much less. Enjoy the ride!
