| Classical Music for Aficionados I also like Barbirolli in 5, Leinsdorf as well. It’s hard to find a bad performance of 5.The 7th is a tough nut to crack. I hated it for years, but now love it.Abbado recording finally did the trick. Maazel also has a delicious 4th with Kathleen... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I have both the Sony and DG Bernstein/Mahler sets. I have to listen to them more often. I like Abbado for Mahler and in general. George Szell has wonderful recordings of the 4th and the 6th, and of, course, I like him for everything else. Von Kar... | |
