Your favorite Mahler recordings on vinyl

I really do appreciate all recommendations you have all have made, thank you now I have something to go on. 

Agree with the Solti No. 2 and the Klemperer No. 4.  That Klemperer is a favorite of mine. You can get both of them as reissues these days, I believe (mine are reissues).

I have the Nonesuch version.  A little oddly balanced in the string section, It sounds great though, and yes, a little noisy.

I have two pressings of the Horenstein Mahler 3rd.  The Unicorn pressing is flawless but oddly eq'ed and a bit lifeless.  The Nonesuch pressing is sometimes noisy and the center hole of one of the discs ain't exactly on center but string tone can be gorgeous.  Bottom line, the Nonesuch is my go-to choice.

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. 

I am a bit of a Mahler hobbyist and I find myself in agreement with @edgewear above — with a few additions:
No2 - additional: Klemperer / Concertgebouw, (EMI live)
No4: definitely Klemperer!
No5-6: definitely Barbirolli (maybe 6 with Solti) -- unbeatable passion!
No8: additional: Horenstein (BBC classics)
No9: additional Bernstein / Berliner (DG live)
Das Lied: definitely B Walter / K Ferrier, Vienna Symph (Decca) Ferrier had been diagnosed with breast cancer (of which she died 1 yr later); she sings her heart out. A monumental performance!

no. 1: Walter (columbia MS 6394) or Kletzki (hmv ASD 483)
no. 2: Klemperer (columbia SAX 2473/4)
no. 3: Bernstein (columbia M2S 675) or Mehta (decca D117)
no. 4: Szell (columbia SAX 5283) or Klemperer (columbia SAX 2441)
no. 5: Barbirolli (hmv ASD 2518/9) or Solti (decca SET 471/2)
no. 6: Barbirolli (hmv ASD 2376/7) or Solti (decca SET 469/70)
no. 7: Solti (decca SET 518/9)
no. 8: Solti (decca SET 534/5)
no. 9: Walter (columbia M2S 676) or Klemperer (columbia SAX 5281/2)
Das Lied von der Erde: Klemperer (hmv SAN 179)
Des Knaben Wonderhorn: Szell (hmv SAN 218)

I love that Vanguard Wunderhorn LP.  Wore out my first copy.  Managed to find a near mint copy on EBay.
I also second the Haitink/Ameling 4th.
The 9th with Barbirolli and the Berlin Philharmonic on EMI/Angel is great, musically and sonically.
I first got to know the 9th and Mahler for that matter on a wonderfully sounding performance by Kondrashin, of all people, also on Angel.  Evidently he was a Russian Mahler specialist.

Bruno Walter, Symphony #1.

Solti, Symphony #2.

Horenstein, Symphony #3.

Haitink, Concertgebow, Symphony #4. It was back in the 1970’s. I’d never heard Mahler and I wasn’t very interested in exploring his stuff. I was in my twenties. This performance showed up on the radio, one evening. I caught it during the Third Movement. It was my first encounter with Mahler. I listened all the way to the end. Elly Ameling’s vocal performance in the final movement was not only utterly lovely, it turned me into a fan of classical vocal music. One of the key moments in my listening experience.


Des Knaben Wunderhorn. Vanguard Records. Maureen Forester and Heinz Rehfuss vocals. Maybe my favorite record in my 1000+ pop/jazz/classical collection.

Just what I was looking for! 
Thank you. 

Find the Solti/CSO offering on London/Decca for a riveting Symphony 2.  I find that I keep going back to that one.
