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

RE: A second Mahler symphonies cycle thread, if you don't mind

Even if you do not have a SACD setup or do not care for the hi-rez recordings I suggest that you consider Fischer/BFO Mahler recordings on Channel label, start with the M2, it simply sounds spectacular even on the conventional CD layer, the M1 is coming up next week and from what I have heard it’s the one to have.

To me Mahler orchestration begs for uncompressed recording, that is only way to hear this music, the massive ups and downs of what an orchestra is capable of. yes Bruno Walter, Klemperer, Barbirolli and may others left us some memorable performances but their recordings do not offer what Mahler had in mind, the sound is compromised, you do not get the full picture.
