top Mahler on vinyl


Hi all

Looking to buy entire Mahler symphonies cycle on used vinyl.
What would you considered best ones as separates or as one cycle ?

Thanks in advance to all repliers

Phasecorrect is right about Telarc vinyl. They were produced using using the Soundstream digital recorder and NO compression. If you come across any for sale, this is a case where digital vinyl sounds amazing.

BTW, Almarg gave me the info on why Telarc LPs sound so good.
I think Lenny's 1960s cycle with NPO is among the best. Buy vinyl since the CD sonics are not great. Abbado's cycle is very good, but if you can find any Barbirolli on LP, definitely grab it.
Angel/emi is the worst modern label I have ever heard. A budget label and does not use the original masters.
