I actually just ordered the Speakers Corner reissue of the Decca Solti/CSO from MusicDirect. I needed some AIVS fluid anyway, I added to my order.

If you care to post back, it would be interesting to learn your thoughts on the Solti v the Kubelik from your box set.

My favorites are the 5th, 6th, and 9th. I'd say Karajan, Solti, or Sinopoli (for any/all of them) on RBCD. On SACD, Stenz for the 5th, Zander for the 6th, and either Chailly or Gilbert for the 9th.

OK. It should arrive today, but I doubt I'll have a chance to listen to it before this weekend.

No problemo - thanks for the update!
For vinylists, 2-LP-Box DG 423564-1 edit: Btw, Kal, aside from the 9th, which of the other Accentus BRD Abbado/Mahler/Lucerne performances do you favor? I canna play these now on my main system but should be able to in the future. Last edited by tima; 06-27-2012 at 09:41 PM. |

Thanks Kal. I'm eying the EuroArts set that covers 1-7 along with the 9th from Accentus.

Not much talk in this thread about the Mahler 3rd Symphony, and, as it is my second most favorite of Mahler's works (after the wonderful 2nd Symphony) and, as I was listening to it this morning, I thought I'd duplicate some effort and say something about it here. I think that the first movement of the 3rd symphony is truly a work of great art and it is presented extremely well by the SFO in this SACD recording, The voices here are excellent as is the orchestra itself.
I am copying my own post from this morning in the "What Classical Music Are You Listening To" thread. I love Mahler's Third Symphony! And, I heartily recommend the MTT/SFO SACD for the impeccable performance and extraordinary sonics. Quote:
