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

RE: Mahler + Solti

I don't think ARG can be bought retail anymore. One has to subscribe (you can request a sample).

The only Solti Mahler recordings that makes the cut in their overview are 1 (both LSO and CSO), 5 (1970 CSO recording) and 9 (with the LSO). His 4 gets runner up status, but they complain that Solti never relaxes here. They complain about his tempos in the 8th. Their general assessement is "brilliant, seldom subtle; Chicago recordings alternate between manic and emotionally flat."

Their general take on Abbaddo's Mahler is "very polished, but not much depth". They do recommend the 7 in Chicago and the 8 on DG.

For the 6th, I'd go for one of the Bernstein recordings.
