If I asked ten Mahler lovers for the same list, no two lists would be the same and, if i even knew what I liked or was looking for, my list would be different.
The same would be true if I asked for a recommendation on the complete cycle, which is what I have been trying to do for 2 weeks. In the last two days, I have read a lot of reviews of various cycles. The four I am thinking about seem to be well above average, with no lame performances + they are good recordings. Based on these, I am leaning toward Gielen or Bertini. This will allow me to get my feet wet, without struggling to hear and put my finger on the differences in any number of recordings of each symphony.
This may not seem like the most valid approach, but it sure beats buying the album with the nicest looking cover among the 3 for sale in a classical music shop.
