I like Inbal............for a change. As for the #4 and Das Lied, I also like Szell. Also, interesting is the Das Lied with Herrwegh/HMU.

Thanks to Tim and Kal I now also have the Fischer 2,4,6, Tilson Thomas 1 and 5 and Bernstein's 5 and also picked up an Alan Gilbert's 9 on my own. Can only confirm everyone's suggestions above. Fantastic.

For the 9th, I like Abbado, either on DG with the CSO or on the Accentus BluRay with the Lucerne FO.

I am considering this...the Bruno Walter Sony Master Series set includes two versions of the Titan, one with the New York Phil and also the one with the Columbia... I like Bruno Walter with Bruckner and Mozart... any thoughts on his Mahler Symphonies?

Walter's 2 and 9 are outstanding.
Bernstein's original NYPO #2 on Columbia and his last #6 with the VPO on DG are super-heated and overwhelming.
It never stops.
