Mahler on vinyl - your favorite

Symphony No.4-San Francisco Symphony Orchestra

Edo de Waart-Margaret Price

Since this was my first classical recording I purchased a sense of nostalgia exists.

@singingg did you mean ignore the attached on Kubelik’s Songs of a Wayfarer? I didn’t find it with the 5th…

Hope I got the right album. Checking it out on qobuz. 

DG 2707 056 : Symphony 5 and Songs of the Wayfarer (2 LP set)

I recently listened to this album and found the symphony lacking in refinement.

Here are some more suggestions from my LP list :

Das Klagende Lied, Boulez, London Sym (same discs as Sym 10 Adagio)

Das Lied von der Erde, Walter, Vienna Phil, ( ancient mono sound that is saved if you have the Decca curve in your phono pre)

Recital of Mahler Songs, Fischer-Dieskau, Berstein (piano), Columbia

Kindertoten Lieder & 4 Ruckert Lieder, Fischer-Dieskau, Bohm, DG

Des Knaben Wunderhorn, Schwartzkoff, Fischer-Dieskau, Szell, London, Warner

All…thank you! Streaming and checking the above suggestions, making a list. 

Regardless of its deficiencies in terms of sound quality, the Bruno Walter VPO Das Lied von der Erde with Kathleen Ferrier and Julius Patzak (Decca) is unsurpassed.

Not a symphony, but still one of the greatest of all Mahler recordings: Das Knaben Wunderhorn, Szell, LPO with Fischer Dieskau and Schwarzkopf (EMI)

I've picked up some of the old Tennstedt LPO cycle on vinyl recently but still find his way with Mahler difficult to like.
