It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

For some reason...

Solti and Mahler were never an ideal match, but that's not just my opinion--many critics have echoed this over the years. Perhaps because Solti never exhibited enough Weltschmerz, the way Bernstein did, for example.

His early Mahler with the LSO (Syms. 1 & 2) was quite good, also the Eighth with CSO, as the other posters have mentioned. But that's about it.

If you want to hear a truly hell-for-leather, end-of-the world Mahler Sixth, I recommend Lenny's version with the VPO on DGG. The perfect embodiment of "death marching in hob-nail boots", IMO.
