Your favorite Mahler recordings on vinyl


I'm trying to expand my listening experience and add to my vinyl collection.   I know there are a lot of classical listeners with far more knowledge than me.  Please suggest recordings that you like, for my listening pleasure.

Thanks

Yes, of course Das Lied with Ferrier and Walter on decca is indispensable. How could I overlook it? But it's in mono, so sonics are somewhat limited. As for that live Bernstein one-off with the BPO on DGG: I didn't mention it because I have this on CD and didn't know it was also issued on vinyl. It's a 'must have' performance for sure, whatever the format. Bernstein's later DGG live cycle (with NYPO, VPO and CGOA) has some great performances as well, notably no. 6 and 7. These were originally issued on vinyl as well as CD. They're digital recordings, which is why I have them on CD.
