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

RE: Agree on some of his other recordings, but have you actually heard Lenny's Sixth?

Yes, I've pretty much heard every Mahler symphony recording out there, except for perhaps extremely recent ones, as in the last couple of years or so. I used to own a copy of that Bernstein 6th. Exciting? Yes. Very close to Mahler's markings (which are much more specific than just about any other composer)? Not so much. This is not to say that putting your own spin on things is necessarily wrong or bad, by the way, I'm not saying that at all. But Lenny's Mahler recordings are for the most part not my cup of tea. He gets pretty darn self-indulgent on many of them.
