In Reply to: RE: Mahler Symphony 9 - recommendations? posted by andy evans on August 29, 2016 at 02:45:19
Dick Shahinian was a huge Mahlerian, and his fave was Barbirolli Berlin 1964, now on CD for $13.
I have heard it and it is very good. There were audiophile LP reissues of this in the 1980s/1990s in Germany.
The original LP set is on offer on eBay for $726.22.
The performance is I think valuable in and of itself, but... just as the case with Colin Davis' conducting the Boston Symphony during the Ozawa years, the 1964 Barbirolli Mahler 9 provides an illuminating counterpoint to Berlin under Herbie K.
ATB,

PS: I'd also say, especially in this era of Streaming (Steinway is IMHO the best for classical music, but MR-DA!), that one should also hear Boulez and Tennstedt.

This was the first Mahler 9th that really made the music work for me
